Wednesday Walk at the Zoo
This post if for Wednesday walk challenge

For thsi week I am going to go with a walk I took at the local zoo here this past week the Buttonwood Park Zoo
Starting with a photo of one of the Elephants

In fact its the only elephant I saw on this visit, now I know I did a post about visiting this zoo last year and saying I was not to impressed by it and planning to head to the Zoo in Rhode Island which is bigger , but I never made it there last year, and maybe I will this year, but the other day I thought about how I like to support local and decided to give the zoo here another visit, and I must admit maybe my mood was different or it was the fact that lots of families where there and having fun especially the kids, I found it a lot better this time and will visit it again since I bought the season ticket
I do believe this is a red crowned crane, shot through a fence but I managed ot focus on the crane and the fence is almost not visible

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 HSBI shares to the following people
@djbravo, @sunshine29, @nill2021, @pazartesi, @jlufer
If your wondering what HSBI shares are heres how they work Hive Stake Based Income (HSBI) is a program designed to deliver occasional upvotes on your posts depending on the number of units you have. In order to receive an HSBI unit you need someone to be your sponsor. Anyone with a valid Hive account can be a sponsor. All they need to do is send one or more Hive to @steembasicincome and place your username in the memo for the transaction. That's it! You then receive as many HSBI as the number of Hive sent, in return the sponsor also receives an equal number of HSBI in their account. That way you both benefit!
How to check how many HSBI units I have?
It's easy, just go to: https://www.hivesbi.com/userinfo/
Enter your Hive username and it will bring up how many HSBI units you have along with information on upcoming votes you will receive or ones you have received in the past.
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.
I hope a few of you may find this an interesting challenge and decide to join in.
unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.
As funny as it might sound, I have never set my eyes on an Elephant. I only see them in movies and videos, Zoo over here don't have Elephants. I am certain your visit to the Zoo must have been really awesome

I think just beforte I got to the otters they had bene gihting I heard someone talking about it and this otters ear was bleeding onthe other side
Slight disagreement between caged animals not uncommon, after all being in the wild they would be too busy to argue!
yes thats a good point

Nice exploration of the zoo. I also have done a little bit of exploration during my walk today.
Have a glance 😁

Awesome Zoo visit @tattoodjay . Outdoors like this are certainly interesting, especially when families wants to have fun. Happy #wednesdaywalk.
Thank you so much for the mention and support with HSBI. I appreciate this kind gesture. Blessings.
👍🙂👍
Happy #wednesdaywalk 🙂 Zoos are great places for walks. We have had zoo memberships at a couple of places we lived. The memberships were nice because we would just go there for a good walk. Didn't feel like it had to be a big trip.
Hello @tattoodjay, good day to you, am coming back posting again in this community after a long pause. Thanks!

I also visit a zoo last year, and you had a better shot of elephant 🐘 😁
I love otters. They are just so dang cute! They have always been one of my favorites.
I think just beforte I got to the otters they had been fighting I heard someone talking about it and this otters ear was bleeding onthe other side
Oh wow, no way. I have heard they can be quite vicious, but they are just so darn cute!
yeah I feel the same they look so cute, I was suprised when I heard someone say they were fighting and then saw this one bleeding
How amazing I have never seen an elephant in front of me alone on television. Thanks for sharing. A wonderful walk to the zoo.
Good morning dear friend @tattoodjay
I hope that this year you can visit the other zoo that is larger, however, I loved seeing the shots of all these animals. The elephant is really beautiful to see
Have a happy Wednesday walk.
I love animals and in this case the texture of the elephant's skin is what catches my eye, a truly beautiful ride, fabulous!😃
I love the zoo! Always fun to see so many animals! One of my favorites has always been the San Diego Zoo, just so many different species in a beautiful setting.
Great shots!
Animals are looking so sweet in the images.
I also took part in the wednesday walk.

Many people know about the typed of animal, elephant are seen as large and dashing animal. Thank you,happy day.
Great photos especially of the elephant. I like them as they are very strong and powerful animal but gentle giants as well. I rode on one in Nepal a long time ago.
