Wednesday Walk BY the duck pond
Tuesday I had some issues and ended up in the ER and now in a hospital ward overnight and will have a small surgery this morning to get me back on track
So I apologize in advance if I don’t get to visit all the Wednesday walk posts this week
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 ;)

This past week I have only been out for one walk, where I got these shots by the pond in Buttonwood Park.
IT wasn't a good week for me for walks, Monday was a nice sunny day, but alas that morning I had a medical test and after that I didn't have the energy for a walk.
After that we had a few rainy days and add to that my Knees were really not in the mood for walking this week, for a few days I was hobbling around the house and didn't get back much, not sure why but there starting to not bother me so much now so hopefully on nice days I will get out for walks in the days ahead.
But as it happens that was written last Sunday when I Prepared this post
Tuesday I had some issues and ended up in the ER and now in a ward overnight and will have a small procedure this morning to get me back on track
So I apologize in advance if I don’t get to visit all the Wednesday walk posts this week
And as I always do when I walk around the duck pond I take a shot of this little island in the middle of the pond

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.
