Wednesday Walk make me smile post A walk around Milford CT

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 :)

I want to thanks everyone who joins the Wednesday Walk Challenge, it is a pleasure for me to visit all the posts each week and see walk from all around the world, I think Last week was the biggest for this challenge yet with almost 55 people joining inthe Wednesday walk fun :)

Note I want to thank Hive account@bluemist for sponsoring this challenge starting from this week, due to their support I will be from next week sending out Steem to a selection of people who partake in the Wednesday walk as I will explain in the guidelines below all of the liquid rewards for this post will be shared with a selection of participants.

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

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.

Following me and resteeming 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 Steem to a selection of those who participate, please note this is a change from sending out SBI shares, as I did in the past.

Actifit

A good App that works well in conjunction with the Wednesday Walk or any day walk is Hive account@actifit, which rewards you with Actifit Tokens and Steemit Upvotes, if you use the app to track your steps and do a post of your actifit total each day.

If you do a lot of activity I do recommend you check it out

This weeks walk post around Milford CT

First off I will admit this walk wasn't in the last week I have not done much walking at all, so this is from the week before.
I will start this walk on the green with a shot of the gazebo and some of the trees all lit up for the season, our green here is so beautiful year round but especially at this time of year

Next up a shot of the Milford bank Branch in Downtown just across from the green, with some wreaths on the windows and the clock showing the temp when I was out for this walk, a good thing my wife isnt on Steemit, I told her the temp was 45 when I went for this walk LOL

Next up the Cafe Atlantique downtown, the reason I walked by it on this walk is the owner host local artists and photographers who can apply to have their art on display in the Cafe for a month, I displayed there for one month a year for a few years, but when I heard the waitlist to get a spot was over two years a couple of years ago, I dropped myself off the list to give others an opportunity.

And one last shot from this walk, I was out walking for about 30 Minutes on this walk, a shorter than normal walk for me but more than enough time out inthe colder temps

And one person is randomly drawn who joins both challenges to receive one Steem from me and this week it is @TBA

I would love to be able to give everyone who joins a Steem Basic Income share, but I don't make enough steem each week to do so, but I will try and share them around fairly between those that join the challenge
