Wednesday Walk A recent walk in Hazelwood Park
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 ;)
Don't be shocked but todays post is of a walk I did this week, one day last week we had a nice day compared to recent weather with the temp almost hitting 50F and a nice sunny day.
It was one of the days I pick up my Granddaughter from school, I wasn't sure if she has club after school that day so I headed to the area about half an hour early parking at Hazelwood park thinking I could get a half hour walk in before heading to the school if she got out at the normal time of 2:30.
Then I got a text that she was going to a different school club after classes and wouldn't need to be picked up till 4, so I had more time for a walk :)

As many of you may know I used to mostly bet out for early morning walks before and during the sunrise, and I do love that time of day for walks, its is so peaceful and quiet, but I must say perhaps because I haven't been out for a photowalk for quite a while, and in part because on early morning walks often starting int he blue hour there is limited light and hence limited options of what you can take photos of.
Taking a walk in daylight the options for photos is more wide open for this post the photos are more wider shots on the walk, but I also took lots of detail sort of shots which I will share in future posts.

The gazebo again and one of the many benches in the park, as you can see nice skies and sunny, I did look for any signs of spring, new growth on trees or flowers and such but didn't have any luck in that regard.

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.
