Friends. I have not posted for a few days since the Steemit platform isn't as appealing to us now as it has been in the past.
But, if this is all we get for now. We will all have to adjust accordingly. I understand that in order for changes to be made that we all want and need. Some inconveniences will have to be accepted and made as comfortable for each of us as we can make it. Just a little bump in the road for Steemit as we all move forward in time to the prize.
So, with that thinking in mind. I will show a little of some of the walks I have recently made in our wonderful neighbor community.
Such as the "Banyan" tree photo above.
And this is the foliage of the tree/s.
I don't know what this is. It seems to be a citrus tree of some sort. Maybe it is a "Pomelo?"
The "greenery" never leaves this part of Florida. The grass can turn brown in places. But many of the trees and shrubs continue to be green. I recently talked with a lady from "France" that came over for a visit to a friend's place here. She wants to live here.
People from all over the world come here. And it is only going to get more attractive as Clif's "mini ice age" approaches. Who wants to see snow and ice all time for many months?
If you like dogs. Florida is the place to be. You will see them everywhere. They are a part of the family in many households here.
I don't know what the name of these birds are. They have a curve at the end of their beaks for digging in the ground. They are always busy. Since none of the older people here bother them or are a threat.
They will allow you to get close to them.
Since this house has been built up to see the water. I would think they can see the Gulf of Mexico.
I know that my neighbor had a viewing level added to his house to see the water. It is nice too.
Here, I am walking along the canal that is not far from where we live. The photo is showing a sailboat moving along toward the bridge.
This is a common sight that you will see as you walk or ride on the trail. This canal is used to go back and forth to the Gulf waters. You can see the Venice Airport in the background that was used by the the Army years ago.
I like the Pontoon boats. I like the flat surface and the stability of them Plus, it is comfortable for the people to have some extra room to move around. I have never owned one though.
I see the sailboat has reached the bridge. So up goes the drawbridge portion of it to let the boat pass through. Some of the little white birds are busy in the photo as they always are. They do fly. But not too much. They don't have time to fly. Ha
I could see some pelicans and an egret sitting on the bridge side rails. They are resting.
They will be fishing later. The pelicans can catch fish in a dive. They rarely miss.
As I go under the bridge and up the trail a short distance. I see this. Signs are a part of our lives everywhere we go. It is good to be able to read.
I will end this walk and post it for you to see if you can. I don't know when our Steemit team will get our platform back to normal. I will see what response I get from this.
If it is enough to justify more postings. I will be adding more of my neighborhood walks.
We don't want to forget our song selection though. What shall it be for us?

"In that day. The lion will eat straw like an ox."
That would be an unusual day and time for sure.
We cannot go today without remembering Steemit.
Each day Steemit is always here for us. 24/7 is the time of measurement. I like that.
Thank you for following along with me in my journey on Steemit.
Fret not my Friends. Whatever we can dream by putting legs under our dreams.
It can and should happen for us.
Francis
The very first pic is very very simple yet very beautiful and I must say our life is composed many ups and downs and steemit is also a part of that, so we have accept this downtime and enjoy every moment by steemiting. That should be spirit.
Thank you.
Banyan tree is a very useful tree for our environment and it does not require any care, so we should not cut any such tree.
Second point is that steemit is somewhat less lucrative now as compared to last month, reason is obvious that altcoin market is down, bitcoin is almost one third of December value. We need to bide this time.
Thank you sir...steem on and stay blissful...
Good choice of music Francis! I enjoy your walks. I would be disappointed if you didn't post anymore. Perhaps the platform will settle down. Lots of things right now are up in the air. I just sit and wait to see what will happen when the dust finally settles.
Thank you
Each little change takes more time than before it seems to me.
But, I am certain that the Witnesses believe it is going to be good.
Francis
Have faith, my friend! All good things come to those who wait...
I agree.
thanks for this walk. @francisk
Thank you for your support.
Francis
Hello, Francis. Great boat trip! I also love to make such a small trip. But in our climate it is possible only in a certain part of the year. Thank you, my friend! You have a lot of interesting photos.
Thank you for your comments and support.
You have supported my work for a long time now.
And I appreciate it.
Francis
Sketchy times for sure but I have faith everything will be okay. Like you daid, just another bump in the road.
I really like the cryptos now.
I believe we are going to see a huge surge in dollar price again soon.

Oh yeah, I'm glad to see you and your message to the walk, we missed you and immediately see new photos. This is an amazing tree and we do not have one, so it's interesting to look at it and learn about it. It's also nice to see your famous channel, I see you have good weather outside and the birds cheerfully walk around the pond. Thank you Francis for a wonderful walk!
Thank you. I want to show more soon.
Francis
That's pretty beautiful #walkwithme post. Are leave from beach @francisk?
Bets photo shots you taken there. Excellent background.
The canal leads to the beaches and the Gulf.
Francis
Nice boat.
i love photografhy nice photografhy friends 😊
Haven't been posting much myself lately. Not so much about the price fluctuations as taking the time out to get it done. To many other things taking my "spare" time.
With all the cold weather. It takes more time than on good days. I know that from the years spent there.
Francis
Yes, Steemite is not comfortable now, but I do not think it will last. As always an interesting article. I liked the Banyan tree and boats on the water. Interestingly, the channel does not look deep. Thanks for sharing.
I don't think the channel is very deep. The US Army Corp of Engineers dug the channel out years ago.
Francis
what has changed about the platform? Am I missing something?
You always love greenery and I too love greenery and let me tell you that you "walk of life" is very very inspirational for me.
Thank you @francisk and Have a great day.
Dear Friend @francisk
I see that your choice of music is good and very wonderful and very happy with your wonderful publications I wish you more success and progress in the future. The current situation I think the currency market is weak but may settle soon

Circle is most important subject of life.Good post.
Thanks for share.
wanderfull post i like your style ..
The Lion King is one of the Best Disney Movies ever created. It is a masterpiece, the story, voice acting, songs and score are beyond compare. I don't think the live action will live up to it's level. @francisk
I won't be here then. But in my thinking. The live action will be far and away superior to the pattern of Lion King..

Another great morning walk with you. I like tagging along, pun intended. I appreciate the sign that says to call out, "on your left" when passing. I've walked on trails where cyclists will zip past you and often give no warning they are approaching. I've almost gotten hit a few times. So I stopped walking on multi-use trails.
I didn't know there were Banyan trees in Florida. I've never been there, so wouldn't have known, but I thought they were just in Hawaii. That's cool you've got them. They're like a community of trees all working together. And fun to climb. :)
The trail is a good place to walk or ride. I see electric scooters on there sometimes.
Francis
Thanks for posting.
