Wednesday walk challenge and Steem Basic Income 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.

And for last week, myself with the Wednesday Walk Challenge and @elizacheng with her Make Me Smile Challenge collaborated and working together on the challenge's so the Steembasic Income Share give away will be slightly different.

And before I get into this post I want to say thanks to @davedickeyyall for sending 5 Steem to help with the giveaways of SBI shares for this challenge, much appreciated

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.

And if you are looking for another fun challenge, check out the Make Me Smilehosted by @elizacheng, coming soon we will be working to collaborate on occasionally on these challenges,
On the third Wednesday of the month out two challenges will collaborate so if you combine the two into one post you have double the fun

This weeks walk is around the Duck Pond Area in Milford again, but this time focusing on the Duck Pond

As you can see it was one of the nicer days we have had recently and I was not the only one walking around the pond, after all the cool, cloudy grey days, having a nice day and seeing others out enjoying it all made for a good reason to make me and others smile.

This pretty little briodge crosses over one of the streams of water running away from the Waterfalls and is how the people in the second and third shot got closer to the falls.

And speaking of bridges this is a shot of my shadow and of course me, walking across another of the bridges in this area, and finishes off this post, I perhaps should have saved this for @melinda010100's Shadow contest which is another cool contest here on Steemit, each week she gives a theme, swing by and check it out and give some support

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 randomly send some Steem to add shares for some of my followers so on the weekend
all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk .@boddhisattva, @eglep, @wesphilbin, @bricbric, @olga.maslievich, @annephilbrick,
And a special bonus this week @elizacheng will send one SBI share to @zirochka,

As the Third Wednesday @elizacheng and I collaborated with our Wednesday Walk and Make me Smile Challenges

We have three lucky winners. Congrats to
@annepink ( SBI winner from Eliza )
@shasta (SBI winner from me )
@kunschj (Partiko Special winner)

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.

Howdy there JJ! What a great looking little pond you guys have there! And I was surprised that the ground wasn't still covered in snow! yay, maybe spring is starting? In the next few days here it's getting down in the 20's with single digit windchill, that's going to set all kinds of records!

We havent had much snow till now mostly dusting, but last night was different and it would look different we got 3 Inches last night and the same expected each day for the next 2 or 3 days

oh really! wow I thought spring was starting! Wow this has been a heck of a year for most part of the North as far as snow!

Nope no sign of spring here yet, kind of hoping this weekend is going to be winters farewell gift ot us ;)

yes JJ, for you guy's sake I hope it is winters last gasp and then the spring is going to be glorious.

MOst of us here hope the same ;)

Thanks for living by example, you initiated this challenge and you’re also participating in it, that’s a good example of a leader.

Your Wednesday walk pictures are lovely, colorful and clarity is awesome 👏

I love the dog captured in your third picture as well as the big show found in your fourth picture.

Thanks @tattoodjay for your contribution in Steem network.

Thanks so MUch I have always led by Example its just the way I am and in this case I always walk a lot, well less in Winter these days I have to admit so it naturally led to this challenge I run :)

That is a sweet waterfall. I remember when I was a kid I went on a trip with my parents where we tried to hit as many small waterfalls in Michigan as we could. It was a good time. I am kind of doing the same thing now with @mrsbozz as we camp in the summer and explore the state.

Thats the kind of trip I would love to do but with my wife’s health at the moment we do not travel to far afield, but I hope she will get better one day Nd we can start exploring more :)

I hope so too! My mom and dad still go out and about looking at waterfalls though they can't get around as much as they used to. They were telling me about a trip they took a while ago where they hiked back in the woods and my dad fell and they weren't sure if they were going to be able to make it back out!

Thats must have bene so scary for your Mum and Dad, and thats part of why my Wife doesnt like me venturing to far on my own, she is always worried I will fall and hurt myself somewhere, and I didnt help that this time last year when I slipped on ICe by the Duck Pond downtown here in MIlford and dislocation my SHoulder and twisting my ankle LOL

Yeah, I went full parent mode on them and asked what they were thinking! :)

Isnt it funny how the tables can turn and we atake on other roles,

You had a great walk. Thanks for the pictures!
And this my post: walk in the Museum.

Thanks Kindly ill visit your post a little later int he day work is in the wya now LOL

Thanks )

Most Welcome :)

Thanks for the reward last week! I'm at it again this week: https://steemit.com/wednesdaywalk/@kunschj/wednesday-walk

MOst Welcome my Friend and thanks for joining again :)

The Duck Pond is really cool and nice. I have liked your waterfall photography very much.

Thanks kindly Have a great day

First

Thank you for the call out on the SBI... greatly appreciated.

Also, the shadow concept by @melinda010100 about gave me goosebumps, as I too had thought of something similar; followed and will try to participate soon.

I've come down with some flu bug again, so back to not as much activity, unless I can stop it from flaring my M.S.

Those pictures!!

Always a sucker for waterfall pictures; the sounds, the spray of the moisture coming up from the water.... beautiful

The area you live in looks like such a beautiful location; not to turn away the focus of the challenge, but surely easier to enjoy without "negativity" all about yes?

At any rate; will have to look into both SBI, as well as the Shadow concept by @melinda010100... sorry my health is keeping me from participating on this one, but thank you for "taking us along"...

I love the idea of the shadow contest but have been slack with doing entries for it I have to admit

Sorry to hear your coming down with the flu I hope you feel better soon

Excellent photography, I love the waterfalls! Here's my post for today:

The walk grows so much each week that I can hardly make it around to see all of them! I love it!

I am glad to see how it is growing but it is hard to find the time to keep up with them all, but I enjoy working through them all

It will soon be a full time job for you! It makes me glad that the Shadow photos are spread out all week! I' started out upvoting the walks but soon ran out of VP and switched to tips! And I'm not even half way through them.

Ohh yeah, I will have to start spreading out responding to them over a few days soon, to stop draining my VP to much as well :) thanks so much for supporting those that join :) !tip

I'll save some for tomorrow. Have you counted up how many there are?

So far 25 or so I think, :)

I have had 50+ Shadow Contest entries, and I know that can be pretty overwhelming just being certain that I've commented and upvoted everyone's entries. I can see where you may have to start spreading them out over a couple days. You could always change the name to the WeekdayWalk! 😃

Wow that’s impressive with so many entries I must start watching out for more shadow shots I have been slack in that regard

🎁 Hi @melinda010100! You have received 0.1 SBD tip from @tattoodjay!

Thnks KIndly I am not aware of Templo Project but wil try and find out what it is about

WOW...you really do live in a beautiful part of the world with leaves or not on them trees it still looks like a scene from fantasyland absolutely stunning :)

I will miss this place when we move after I retire, there is so much beauty here, but still staying in New England so I hope wherever we move I will find nice areas

Seriously you have to leave that awesome place why do you have to go back to New England that's a big move ??

Well where I am is in New England it’s a few states including Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. we will move to MA to be closer to the kids and grandkids

WOW.....Well you won't get bored that camera is going to be kept busy and the grandkids are going to love that :)

Ohh yes thats the plan :)

When is that likely to

All going well Early next year
