Wednesday Walk to the River

in wednesdaywalk •  6 years ago 

#Wednesdaywalk is one of my favorite challenges of the week started by my friend @tattoodjay.

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.

After days of rain we finally got a spot of sunshine this morning and I went out for a nice early morning walk. Well, techically it was a ride on my mobility scooter, since these days I am no longer able to walk.
The river has been in flood stage all month and all the precipitation we are having keeps it rising even higher.

Riverside Park is seen just across the river from where I live.

This is just behind my house where the water from the spring flows down into the river.

It was such a great morning to be outdoors!

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk tip!

Thanks, Jj! I am so glad that you started this challenge, it really is one of my favorite days of the week. It's so easy for me to just sit home and this forces me to get out in the neighborhood a little bit! And thanks for the tip!

Thanks so much, its great to know it does motivate people to get out fora walk ;)

What a beautiful walk ❤ @melinda010100!!
Looks so nice there, lots of color and wonderful
trees, love the reflection on the last one! :-)

Thanks, @shasta! Well it's certainly not the Wilderness like I am so envious of what you have at your doorstep, but I am only 4 minutes away from Target!

That looks like a very pretty walk @melinda010100, Lovely to have on your doorstep.

Thanks @gillianpearce! Are you home again!? I'll be over to see!

Glad to see you out on #wednesdaywalk with us @melinda010100 :) The river looks very high and the fall colors look nice. Are you threatened by flooding?

Very beautiful and scenic walk you had. I liked your walk pics.

Thanks! It is s prerty time of year!

Wow the river is definitely in flood. The tree roots are under water already. Did I tell you my sister has a mobility scooter? She is the terror of the local markets! People flee in fear when they see her coming :-)

I did remember that your sister also uses a scooter. When we would be in crowded areas and Jim would want to get thru and I was stuck behind other people he would loudly say 'look out, she' ll run you down!.' They would laugh and it was quiet effective at getting them to move out of my way!

Haven't you got a hooter? (horn) lol give 'em a toot toot!

Ha! It's more of an annoying beeper than a hooter!

You live in a beautiful place. My mom love these pictures. Thanks for sharing these pictures of your walk

Thanks! My neighbors house is right on the river bank, and the high water is causing worry! My house is back further and on higher ground, so I dont worry about flooding.

I hope nothing happens to your neighbor. It is good to know that your house is well and there is no danger!

The trees started to change the colour of their leaves and you caught them nicely.

Thanks! It is beginning to be pretty!

Very beautiful autumn colours! So lucky!
Your house is surrounded by trees and streams.
A lovely day fir sure.

It is beginning to look like autumn! It has been a very wet summer so the river is very full.

Ahhh it's so peaceful : )

No big waves here!

I guess i can't have everything? : )

Very good posts I like with the posts

Thanks so much!

The view is wonderful. The photos ... the same. I love water (less in the glass, unfortunately). The river is great, thank you for sharing with us!

Thanks! I have to make myself remember to drink water! I don't like drinking it either.

Let's have a glass of water together! Usually I don't feel thirsty and that's why I forget to drink. I think it's offsetting a few coffees, a beer, a soup ...

I think all liquids count!

Yes, I also think so, I heard some doctors who say that.

Do mushrooms grow there? now is the mushroom season

They do grow here, but I do not know which ones I can safely eat!

then of course it is better not to collect them. I also do not know much about mushrooms, but my husband knows which are edible and which are not.

I would love to go collecting with someone who knew what they were doing! I think it is fascinating how many different types there are.

We have finally sunshine today too..............these are gorgeous shots Melinda. Autumn is here 🌸💖🌸

howdy again melinda010100! wow you guys have enough water up there? man...and it looks like you have a giant river in your backyard!

It is a big one... But usually it has little sandy beaches along the shore! Not today though and they are saying more storms starting tonight all through the weekend with heavy rainfall is predicted. Last fall-
