A walk on the Phoenix Rail trail
Still snowed in, but i hope they guy who we pay to clear our snow makes it here ytoday, plows came down our street yesterdy evening, but the snow levels were to high for them to really cope with, they jut took off a top layer and havent bene back, so the road is barely passable, and I just thought, even if the snow guy gets here theres only a partially cleated one lane part of the road in front of our house so he could not park to clear our yard.
Which has me thinking perhaps I need to cleared part of the driveway from the street, so if he comes he could pull in and park and then clear the rest and the footpaths, would make sense but I am not looking forward to doing it and i know my wife will be very against me doing that with my health issus, but lets see how the day goes
This post if for Wednesday walk challenge
Any questions about the challenge read the guide at the Bottom of the post ;)
The Mattapoisett Rail Trail, which I noticed today on mps is shown as the Phoenix Rail trail, runs west to east for approximately 2 miles with paved sections through woodlands and elevated bridges over sensitive coastal marshes and beach. It connects directly to Fairhaven’s Phoenix Trail’s 4.5 miles so you can bike, walk, or jog for over six miles on this flat, easy path.
Its a real nice spot, and one I plan to visit again soon, theres a car park which always has plenty of space when I head there early morning, and walking first through some trees either side then alongside the water on one side and the marsh on the another is always a nice refreshign walk, and a bonus when as it was the day I took these shots there is a nice sunrise.
Heres one spot with trees either side and you can see its a nice wide pathway

Many people ride there bikes along the trail, and since I have been riding my exercise bike each morning, It go me thinking how it would be cool to have a bike and ride this whole trail, and the fairhaven one that joins it one day.
Now I do have a bike, my wife and I got bikes maybe 5 years ago, we rode them a few times that year, but we made the mistake of buying a vhepa bike, and it really didnt stay together well and now is in our garage covered by other stuff, I have bene etmpted at times to get an e_bike, to load into my car and head out to this and some other trails and check them out, now that I have bene riding the exercise bike, I dont know I need an ebike, although it may be handy if I get carried away riding way down and trail and then struggle to get back, or if the trail has any hills, but there not cheap and i was also need to either get a gfolding one, or a bike rack thingy for the car, so not sure that will ever happen

you may thing its not that well used, but I generally try to get shots without people, which I know is a mistake sometimes showing people would add to the photo, and also and more relevant, perhaps, often I am walking there before sunrise when its dark, I guerss more come out walking or riding when it slight out

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.
