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 :)

Any questions about the challenge read the guide at the Bottom of the post ;)

For this weeks Wednesday Walk post I am sharing a few shots from a Visit to Allens Pond Wildlife reserve and beach,
It was a warm steamy morning, initially my camera lens was fogging up, but finally it got used to the temp and I could get a few shots, then some fog rolled in was a nice time out even if I didn't take a lot of photos.

Starting on the beach Loved the sheen on the wet sand

I then walked into the reserve a little, the field that one walks through to the trails, normally has a path cut through it, but recently they had cut down the field, with the couple of machines shown in this next photo

After crossing the field I got to the trail, I walked it a bit but for a couple of resaons I didn't take any more photos on the trail that morning

Weekly giveaway of shares

This week I am sending to the following who joined Wednesday Walk, for this week I did a random draw and the following each received some Hive @jeansapphire, @occupy-mars, @sagesigma, @hopestylist, @mers and @steven-patrick

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

Add a bit of a write up about where you walked

Just one Wednesday Walk tagged post a week

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, especially if its not one of the first 5 tags or I may miss seeing it .

Following me and re-Hiving 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.
