Wednesday Walk the Sawmill

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 post I am sharing a recent walk at the Acushnet Sawmill here in New Bedford, Starting with a shot from the car park as I was about to cross the road into the park.

I dont think I have ever shared a photo of the entrance to the park and this building before

I love this spot looking over the water especially on a day like this with nice clouds in the sky and reflected on the water, often I see people fishing from this spot.

It may look like it was a nice warm day but looks can fool us, it was infact not far above freezing point when I was there and I really felt it in my feet after a short while so I didnt spend a lot of time walking there before heading back to the car to warm up

Winter is draining most of the color in nature as you can see, you may see a path off tot he left that is heading to the spot I shared the shot of looking over 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.
