Wednesday Walk an evening walk in Fort Phoenix

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 ;)
I managed to get out for a walk for this weeks post, last Saturday it was a nice day for this time of year almost 50 F Although a bit windy, so I headed out for an afternoon walk and headed to Fort Phoenix in Fairhaven

Just near the car park is this sign for the fort and an old anchor which always catches my eye

This is also near where I parked my car, looking across towards New Bedford

I can honestly say this has been by best walk of the year so far, did close to 8K steps while there and I felt so refreshed getting out and getting some fresh air

There was plenty of others out enjoying the nicish day, including this couple sitting on one of the benches enjoying the view you can probably make out they are layered up to protect them from the wind

I strolled all over the park including taking a walk on the beach

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.
