A walk around the Acushnet Sawmill
First an apology each week I try to read and leave a meaningful comment on every entry to the Wednesday Walk but with an injured finger I am trying to give it a break so my comments will be a bit shorter this week
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.

My Walk this week that I will share is a walk around the Acushnet sawmill a nice little park, I have bene out walking everyday but many of my walks have been in the local Mall which opens two hours early for walkers, and with some cool days of recent I haven't been walking outdoors much, but I did take a couple of walks this past week.
The first one by the beach at sunrise, the temp at the time was 26F with a breeze making it feel even colder, needles to say that was a short walk, this second one and which I will share some shots of today was in the Sawmill, I thought I would play around with my fisheye lens for the first loop around it and then get some other shots with a standard lens.
This first shot is with my Tamron 28-75mm Lens and is it just me or does this plant look like a dog to you?
I have to say when I spotted it I did have a little chuckle and a smile

A sign pointing out the trail, I could have adjusted this to not have the fisheye type of distortion but I liked it as it is
