Wednesday Walk the Pond in different seasons

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 some shots of a spot I often walk by the Pond in Buttonwood Park, but from various walks from quite recent through the last year to show the same spot in different seasons.

Starting with shots from a recent walk and hence starting with Winter, early morning with ice on the pond and nice sunrise colors in the sky

Another morning and warming golden tones in the sky over the pond

Another shot from the same day at a different angle you can see the Water Lilies on the pond, well the plats not so much the lilies

this next shot is from August, as you can see most of my walks are early morning, that's how I love to start the day, and as those that follow me know I have a few spots I tend to walk, one being in Buttonwood Park and by this pond, not that I would get sick of these spots but i like to change it about on my walks, but each day with the seasons changing, the different clouds and colors in the sky its kind of new and refreshing each time I visit there

by October the greens start fading and the Autumn/Fall colors make an appearance

BY now you may have noticed when I said the same spot through the seasons I meant the Pond, not the same spot looking over the pond, but various different positions overlooking the pond

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.
