Wednesday Walk around Buttonwood 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 :)
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
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.

A walk around Buttonwood Park
For this week I am sharing a recent walk around Buttonwood Park, and its actually during the day unlike most of my recent Wednesday Walk posts, thats because it is getting cooler here, and I am not heading out for a sunrise walk if the temps down near freezing points and instead going for walks during the day or at sunrise,
This walk was in the early afternoon around Buttonwood Park
I start with a shot of the fall colors across the pond,

I did share a post on Sunday focusing on the fall colors, for this post instead I will focus on what I saw for the rest of the walk, starting with this cool tree I just loved its shape
Its a Coopertown Elm tree

Here is the swan checking out its reflection to see how the cleaning is going
LOL OK it had just ducked its head in the water which explains the ripples in the water and it then went back to cleaning itself,
I guess these shots could have gone well in a #featheredfriends post, ohh well they fit in my walk post as well so here they are
