A walk in the Knowles Reserve
This post if for Wednesday walk challenge And Make me Smile Collaboration challenge, initially our collaboration was once a month but due to the popularity of it we have decided to make the collab a weekly thing :)
Any questions about the challenge read the guide at the Bottom of the post ;)
For this weeks post I am sharing a walk I took through another of the DNRT ( Dartmouth Natural resources Trust), reserves this time one called the Knowles Reserve, a beautiful trail and a walk I truly enjoyed.
Parts of the trail are marshy or if not Marshy damp and they have boardwalk/raised walkways over those spots such as this one I share in the first photo

More of the walkways, it was overcast and fairly early in the morning, the light was coming and going as I walked the trail as clouds past by

This was another trail that had a few rock walls here and there, which I love seeing

and it had quite a few trails, I only explored a portion of the trails some had wide paths, some narrower.
It is well marked has trail markers on the trees, in this shot you can see markers on a tree on the left for the red and blue trails

being spring after after some rain the night before the greens were outstanding, in fact in some of these shots I actually desaturated the greens a little

At various spots they also had markings showing the direction to either of the car parks and entrances to the trails, I came in at the Potomska Road Parking so was a mile from the exit at this stage

seeing all the ferns on the walk made me feel I was walking a trail back in New Zealand, which has so many ferns

Wednesday Walk is a challenge started by me, the idea is to get out for a short walk and get some shots of what you can see within a short distance of your home office or wherever you start. And this is my entry for this week, but first, let me explain the challenge.
This is my post for the Wednesday Walk challenge hosted by myself, let me first explain the guidelines
Try and get out once a week for a short walk, can be from your office, home or anywhere really and walk for a few blocks or a few minutes looking for things to get shots of.
Your walk does not have to be on a Wednesday I just ask if possible to share your walk photos on a Wednesday.
Try and get a few shots not just one
Add a bit of a write up about where you walked
Just one Wednesday Walk tagged post a week
You can look for anything in general or decide on one subject you want to get shots off.
Make a point of looking around and up and see what you can find to get shots of that otherwise you may miss
Do a post with the shots you get on a Wednesday and tag it with #wednesdaywalk, also if you happen to join, please leave a link to your post in a comment on this post and I will try and visit them all, especially if its not one of the first 5 tags or I may miss seeing it .
Following me and re-Hiving the post so more see it would be appreciated but isn't a rule just a suggestion.
I am not strict on these rules and hence why they are called guidelines and not rules
I will try and visit, and upvote all who take part in the Wednesday Walk.
