What is your idea of fun or relaxing on a weekend

I used to like going out to the local bars and listening to music from local bands and having a beer or 8 on a Friday or Saturday night and often both, but with some health issues for both myself and my wife we don't go out to bars anymore.

So these days my idea of fun is getting out for a walk around one of the parks or as I did this evening walking the beaches or boardwalk.

This is a shot from my walk this evening along the boardwalk, I wasn't expecting much of a sunset as there was a lot of dark clouds and was concentrating of trying to get a 4 mile walk in to meet my goal of five miles a day.

Luckily I was carrying both my camera bag and tripod as I walked as I turned to look back as I was walking and saw the colors in the sky and had to get a shot.

Well thats my fun Saturday evening :)

What have you been up to for your Saturday night

Do share if its something exciting i can image I was out there having fun with you LOL :)

Incredible photo, Jay! Your modern day idea of a fun/relaxing weekend is perfect! We always have at least one day out the weekend with a family function, normally Sunday. In the evenings we like to watching a movie either at home or at the theater. That's not to say it's no longer fun to go out and hear some live music, grab a bite and have a beverage every now and then. Daytrips and short getaways are fun to do to. Guess we just matured @tattoodjay and our priorities shifted! tip! and Rsd

Yes maturing has a lot to do with it, we do the same have movie nights but mostly at home :)

thanks for such a thoughtful comment and the tip truly appreciated :)

You're welcome, Jay! Enjoy the rest of your weekend :D

Thanks I will, tomorrow is my treat day n my diet will be cooking roast Veges and lamb Chops my favorite meal :)

Are we celebrating a special occasion or just an enjoyable meal? We're having a triple birthday celebration at my in-laws: my son turned 18 yesterday, my father in law's bday is tomorrow and my husband's on Monday (and a nephew's is Tuesday, but he lives in NC)

No special occasion just a meal we both like :)

thats a good lot of things to celebrate have a great day

You too, my friend!😉💯

Nowadays, I much prefer taking a walk than going to a bar and getting drunk :) That was fun 10 years ago 😁 Lovely shot!

thanks for your feedback

I think age changes our perspective on life ;)

Definitely! I wonder what my outlook would be like in the future :)

Yes indeed I wonder sometimes how I will change when I retire

A lovely way to spend a Saturday evening. I am glad you had your camera bag with you or I wouldn't be appreciating a beautiful photo. Thanks for sharing.

Ohh yes I was walking for exercise but carried my camera bag and tripod just in case :)

Good idea...

I just about have my camera with me all the time

I think I need to start this practice. Too many times I have said: Ghee, I wish I had the camera! That would have made a great shot...

OHh yes I have had those times, thats why I Initially switched to mirrorless, the cameras are smaller and lighter

I know what you mean...

Your welcome

The last thing to pack when we go outdoors should be always the camera. As the scenery can always be a surprise, minute after minute! Great photo! Congrats!

Thanks and yes I agree it should always be with us :)

:)

Wow you said you were going out for a walk and didn't expect to see this come back. Glad you didn't forget you camera. Wonderful shot.

I have to admit when I got there, the clouds were so dark and dramatic, I almost left my camera bag in the car, but decided just in case to carry my bag and tripod, when I saw this I was glad I did :)

Great

View looks like the bridge/road/sky is taking us to a magical place.

Fantastic image. looks like a nice place

Hiking in the mountains. Meeting friends.
However as a poker pro the weekends are often the days of the week I work a lot... :s
I can take the rest of the week off as compensation if I feel like it, though.

Hiking used to be something I loved doing when I was a bit younger Knees aren't up to good hikes these days

Thanks for the visit and support

It is an excellent way to spend your weekend.

Yes indeed this weekend I had to skip the early morning beach walks it was to cold
