Wednesday Walk Fort Taber after the snow

We had a nice snowfall this past week, and a day or so after I did a morning visit to Fort Tabor, it was cooler than I normally like walking in, but I wanted to check out my new camera and got a few shots for this weeks post, I will tell you more about the camera in another post, but lets focus on my walk that morning

I had to be very careful where I walked that morning, I stayed off the paths for the most part as there was patches of black ice everywhere making it very slippery, for the most part I walked on the grassy areas, and completed the walk with a couple of small slides but no falls

Some of the bunkers in the Fort coated with snow

Now I will say these photos are not as good as they could be but thats not the camera fault, I hadn't set it all up properly but this walk was good to remind me of other settings I needed to adjust

There was some nice colors in the sky that morning

This walk must have been two days after the snow as I notice you can see some grass showing, we had got about 6 to 8 inches of snow and it took a couple of days to melt away.

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.
