Wednesday walk out the back door

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, plus I will be sending some Hive to a selection of those who participate.

For this weeks walk I decided to pop outside my back door in our complex for a little while yesterday, a very short while as the pollen count for tree pollen is high at the moment, and as much as I needed some fresh air and wanted to do new shots for this weeks walk post, I didn't want to risk it too much.

These shots are all in about a 10 foot range from our back door and not really much to say about them LOL

A light breeze picked dup when I went out and it was overcast so it made getting oK shots tricky especially when trying to not out be long, but here goes with what I got

The Pine trees are mainly green but some branches had browny orange tones

and some were green,I was using my 90mm Macro lens to try and blur out the background and just focus on a small portion of the tree.

Quite different from the Walk posts I used to do around NYC or on the beaches here and not to happy with the shots but I am glad I got some new shots for a post ;)
