Wednesday Walk Hazelwood Park

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 it is actually a walk I took in the last week, in fact the only walk I took.

Unless you count the couple of days I spent clearing up all the fallen leaves in our yard, got close to 10K steps each of those days and filled 17 rubbish bags with grass and mulched up leaves.

But I digress back to the walk I am actually going to talk about in this post, but first a photo

This is the Gazebo is Hazelwood Park here in New Bedford, it is close to the school that our grand daughter goes to, and on a day the parents asked me to pick her up from school, because she had been sick for a few days she had to stay late and do a catch up exam.

I was not sure how long the exam would take so I decided to head there anyway at the normal time she finishes school and park by the park and take a stroll.
As the first shot shows the park has a gazebo, and is a nice sized park with a few trees looking nice with fall colors at this time of year.
When I first got there a couple was sitting on one of these benches I waited till the left for this shot

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.
