Wednesday Walk on the Mattapoisett Rail Trail

Wednesday Walk on the Mattapoisett Rail Trail

This post if for Wednesday walk challenge
Any questions about the challenge read the guide at the Bottom of the post ;)

With the Sunrise starting to get a little later, or should I say Less early, I have been starting to go a little further from home, one such place I went was to Mattapoisett and the rail trail there.

The Mattapoisett Rail Trail runs west to east for approximately 2 miles with paved sections through woodlands and elevated bridges over sensitive coastal marshes and beaches. It connects directly to Fairhaven’s Phoenix Trail’s 4.5 miles, so you can bike, walk, or jog for over six miles on this flat, easy path, and a spot I really enjoy visiting, and I was lucky enough to catch some nice colors that morning.

Starting with this shot over a pond, I guess it is near the start of the walk.

Then you pass by this river and the marshes

By this stage, you are on the boardwalk, as you can see it's nice and wide and pretty flat, so nice to walk on, probably even during the day when I would imagine it gets busier than when I visit it early morning.

Some nice views from up on the boardwalk on both sides, but the water views are what I love the most.

I often get off the walk way and pop down under it for a shot like this

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.
