Wednesday Walk and make me smile - Gulf Beach
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 :)
Note I want to thank @bluemist for sponsoring this challenge starting from this week, due to their support I will be from next week sending out Hive to a randonly drawn, selection of people who partake in the Wednesday walk as I will explain in the guidelines below, all of the liquid rewards for this post will be shared with a selection of participants.
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
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, plus I will be sending some Hive to a selection of those who participate.

A walk by Gulf beach
These shots were taken back on March 10th prior to social distancing coming in stronger and also prior to a Drs visit, where we decided to avoid going out for walks for a while, I had not visited Gulf Beach for a while and not this spot at the end of it, and these benches were new to me.

If one was to sit on those benches they would have this view across the river to the Milford Yacht Club.

Water photography always so relaxing to see, with birds on the shore it makes it feel complete, missing the beach...
Have a wonderful day, I know you, like most of us are going back into our 'memory banks' reliving some amazing places we have been to and seen.
Thanks I do find being by the water the most relaxing spot for me, hopefully it wont be too long till a return to some form of normal and more photos
That's another beautiful corner in the area where you live and you have got a pretty nice day to be there.

Those are some beautiful shots! We had some great weather and then things took a turn and I actually woke up to some snow again yesterday. With wind chills in the 20's, it hasn't been very conducive to us getting out and walking. I think the end of the week and next week is bringing us some better stuff though.
OW snow and that cold, the planet is really messed up . I hope the weather improves for you soon
Hello @tattoodjay and @elizacheng ... thanks for this fun challenge... and here is my entry for this editionhttps://hive.blog/hive-155530/@mers/vienna-s-fine-architecture-that-made-me-smile-on-a-wednesday-walk
Thanks for sharing the LInk, your post brought back nice memories of my visit there ;)
Oh, these are really awesome! Who doesn't love the beach??? I have always loved benches, facing out into the water. When I was a kid they had wooden ones and all the older people would sit on them and stare out there, I always wondered if they were seeing something or thinking something. Probably the latter. Such beautiful images for this day. I love the way you take us with you, wherever you go, whatever you do.
Thank you for the $$ from the draw last week for the #WednesdayWalk!

Thanks and I loved your walk this week :)
With that view, I would love to sit on that bench, looking over the water!!

Lovely photos! It looked so peaceful everywhere :) another waybackwednesday for me...

Thansk for sharing your link, and no not waste in that shot just a rocky beach and seagulls :)
Okk...rocks look like plastic waste a bit...maybe because I've been seeing lots of those on our beaches.
I can understand thinking that luckily here they keep the beach pretty clean
Alright
👍🙂👍
Gorgeous photos, like always.
Thanks Kindly ;)
Nice photos of Gulf beach and here is my entry : https://hive.blog/wednesdaywalk/@kamrunnahar/wednesday-walk-and-make-me-smile-challenge-pohela-baishakh-1427-bengali-new-year
Thanks Kindly ;)
The pictures are looking marvelous with the clear blue skies; that's such a peaceful and serene place to walk or chill.Hopefully you will be able to go out and take such lovely shot once the current virus mess starts fading off.
Thank you for the 5 hive from last week's draw, I truly appreciate and I always enjoy walking mostly everyday. I am taking the required precautions though. My report for today is about ready in an hour or so. Wishing you an awesome day:}
I took a while to see your reply and see you have done your post which was great as always
Have a great day and stay safe ;)

Ahh, nothing like shots of the ocean to soothe my soul! Great captures, as always @tattoodjay and I hope that in the very near future you'll be able to visit it in person again.
I finally managed to put a Wednesday Walk together myself today, and hoping to be back on a more regular basis. Thanks for giving me something else to focus on during these strange and stressful days!

Looks like a lovely place to walk! I especially love the scene with the rockwall! I could see myself sitting on those benches by the waterside taking in all the beautiful scenes! Thanks for sharing and I hope it isn't too much longer before you can return to that spot!
