A winter Wednesday Walk
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 walk post I am sharing some photos I took on an early morning walk around Fort Tabor here in New Bedford.

It was fairly cool the morning I took this walk, but after the very cold days we have had recently 25F didn't seem to bad and I wanted to get out for a walk after the blizzard while snow was still around, my original plan was to go to one of the beaches, but there was no where safe to park near any of them so I checked out Fort Tabor Park, the car Park had bene cleared, but there was a lot of black ice so walking out of the car park was tricky and slippery but for most of the rest of the walk it wasn't to bad.
I didn't venture out on the pier as it was well covered with snow
Every week a new theme is announced which suits to the actual season. At the moment we are having the Winter Hunt and this week's theme is:
FROSTY-ICY

I was pleasantly surprised to see most of the walking paths around the park had been cleared of snow, great for people who like to go there for walking and exercise, but that said I was the only one walking there that morning

It was a gray Moody morning, but it felt good to be out getting fresh air

But some parts of the path, the snow had melted a little and then frozen but it you paid attention to where you were walking and didn't step on the ice it was fine

As the first shot shows I did walk on the beach, most of the photos from there has a Mono feel to them, maybe that may lead to a natures Mono Monday post ;)
As you can see a lot of the beach was covered with snow forming into ice and floating out on the water.

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.
