A walk on the 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 :)
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
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, plus I will be sending some Hive to a selection of those who participate.

A Walk on the beach
And this is actually a recent walk my wife and I did along Fort Trumbull Beach here in Milford, not many people were there and it was great feeling the fresh breeze off the water, this was a walk i did with my wife, her first Beach walk for a long time as she had health issues and wasn't up to walking, but she is feeling a lot better these days and the pain that slowed her down has eased so she loved the walk also, so this walk was about us enjoying the experience together more than photo taking but I did take a few, including this shot looking along the beach early on the walk

about mid way in our walk, Lulu stopped to draw this heart in the sand so I got this shot of it with our shadows

A year or two ago we both bought some beach shoes and this is the first time we walked the beach in them, was almost like beingbarefeet so a real nice feeling for us both, here is one of the tracks the shoes left on the beach

and finishing off with our heart and names in the sand

We are not young but seeing her drawing the heart in the sand perhaps we were like young kids, I have walked this beach many a time but I think this walk I will always remember this walk seeing Lulu feeling so much better and loving her time on the beach
