Wednesday Walk Knowles beach

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 I am sharing a morning walk I took at Knowles beach in Dartmouth MA

I actually started this walk parked at Apponagansett Beach with this shot by the Boat Ramp well before the sun started to rise

I then went and walked back and forth along Knowles Beach, which is across the water from the New Bedford Yacht Club, by this time some nice warm colors were coming out

I was not the only one on the beach this morning I meet this fisherman, I have talked to him before a fellow early riser and we chatted once before in New Bedford by the harbor Walk

The bugs this morning were a pain, the fisherman had the right idea he had a mosquitoes head cover thingy so they didn't fly into his face, nose or ears, a great idea and I ordered one for myself and now have it in my camera bag for when I need it

You may remember this Ice Cream shop I featured in a Market Friday post recently, this was near where I parked my car by the boat ramp

and this is on Apponagansett beach, I am not sure if you can notice it but across the water there was a fog or mist over the land in the Centre of the photo

And finishing off with the only shot I got of this months full Moon, when I was out it was mostly hiding behind the clouds

the July Full moon is known as the Buck Moon, Thunder Moon or Hay Moon,

And why these names, well Buck moon because this is when bucks' (male deer) new antlers have grown more sizeable after starting late in the spring.

Hay Moon due due to the haymaking season that falls between June and July.

and I guess Thunder Moon is self explanatory

Weekly giveaway of shares

This week I am sending to the following who joined Wednesday Walk, for this week I did a random draw and the following each received some Hive @jlufer, @zbabe, @gabrielatravels, @ratel, @tengolotodo

As @elizacheng and I collaborated with our Wednesday Walk and Make me Smile Challenges

And one person is randomly drawn who joins both challenges to receive one Hive from me and this week it is @TBA

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.
