Wednesday Walk details around the port

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 todays walk I am sharing a walk I took the other day, shock of shock two weeks in a row I am sharing recent walks, with it slowly starting to warm up a habit I hope to keep.

Now I had a clear plan in mind when I went out mid afternoon, to park by the port, a quick stroll around the port, and then head up into the historic district, for both Wednesday walk photos and perhaps to get some images for a Market Friday post.

But as they say

“the best laid plans of mice and men”

The phrase the best laid plans of mice and men conveys the idea that no matter how well prepared one may feel, their plans may still fall apart due to circumstances outside of their control

Things changed when I spotted something I had not seen here, and my plans changed, I will only give a hint of what that was in this post.

But as I said I started walking by the port looking for new and different subjects and saw this rusty metal platform thingy tied up to the dock

Across from the port is a hotel and on one of the buildings they have this whale wind vain which I dont think I had ever noticed till this walk

I then headed to a spot by the Hurricane barrier wall and saw these ducks, not sure what type of ducks they are but a different type from the normal ones I see here.

next stop was at Fort Tabor, I was walking around the shore of the park and snapped this shot of the lighthouse on top of Fort Rodman.

And finishing off this post with the hint I said I would give this was taken at the port.

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.
