Wednesday walk challenge Mondo Ponds and SBI Give away

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.

Try to limit yourself to a set distance or time from the starting location, say 5 Blocks, 5 Minutes walk or whatever and see what you can find in that short distance

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, but you may have a better chance of receiving a Steem Basic Income Share if you do.

I am not strict on these rules and hence why they are called guidelines and not rules

I will try and visit, resteem and upvote all who take part in the Wednesday Walk, plus I will be sending @steembasicincomeshares to a selection of those who participate.

This weeks walk around Mondo Pond trails

I did many walks this week but decided to share a walk I took around Mondo Ponds trails, here in Milford, CT.

This first shot is at the start of the travels, as you can see most of the trees are pretty bare still but still was a lovely walk around the trails, and there were even some signs of spring, you can see some daffodils coming up just the shoots at the moment and not flowering but very soon they will be.

A walk around the ponds post would not be complete without showing the ponds in at least one shot so here is a shot across a part of one of the ponds, with some nice reflections on the still water, and anyone who has followed me for a while will know that I do love reflections.

Keeping with reflections for this next shot, I liked how they were framed bby the tree branches in this spot.

And I even came across a small bunch of spring flowers as you can see in the next shot, what I did on the walk, was walk around with my 24-240 Lens and a second walk with my macro, and strangely enough when I got back to the area where I saw this flower and wanted to get some shots with my macro lens I could not find them again, but I did find one spot where it looked like a dog had done some digging, I have to wonder if someone let there dog dig them up.

Now I heard many birds on the walk and thought I may have been able to get some shots for Feathered Friday hosted by @keithboone, but even though I saw a couple of cardinals flying around I never got close enough to them to get a shot but I did get this shot of one bird I am not sure what type of bird it is.

And here ends my Walk for this week.

Steem Basic Income give away

I mentioned in the guidelines that from this week I will be sponsoring a few who join the #wednesdaywalk challenge with shares on Steem Basic Income

What is Steem Basic Income you may ask well here is how they explain it

Steem Basic Income is a social experiment to bring a basic income to as many Steemians as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Steem Basic Income is delivered through providing regular upvotes to member content. so I have decided to send some Steem Basic Income shares to 5 people selected through a random draw so on the weekend all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk. to @goat-girlz, @elizacheng, @melinda010100, @karbon, @sketch.and.jam, all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk.
And a special bonus this week @elizacheng will send one SBI share to @deerjay,

Last week was a busy Wednesday Walk, close to 60 People joined the walk, its great to see it growing and seeing walks from all around the world ;)

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

I hope a few of you may find this an interesting challenge and decide to join in.
