Wednesday Walk Around Buttonwood Park

in #wednesdaywalk3 years ago (edited)

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 :)

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.

For this weeks walk Post I will share a few shots of a Walk I did around Buttonwood Park here in New Bedford, its a nice good sized Park, with the Buttonwood Zoo included but for this post I am walking around the park I was focused on getting some shots of the memorials and features there, Starting with this little piece not to far from the entrance to the Zoo

Very nice! This looks like a really cool place to visit. I haven't really been to a proper park in long time. Besides the one that my wife and I walk at from time to time. I guess I should say city parks I haven't been to. We visit a lot of state parks though. Awesome shots!

Its a real nice park to stroll around, plenty of space and not to many people just what I like

Thank you so much @tattoodjay and @elizacheng.

So many nice memorials, but most I like this little tower - it looks great in monochrome.
The path under the trees looks also very nice and somehow cooler than the one in the blazing sun.


!BEER and !WINE - both make a nice dinner with !PIZZA :)

Must be interesting to see - we don't have such memorials here, at least not that many.

Yeah, it should cool down here too they say - the past days have been really hot, but after so many rainy days I loved even sweating.

Will go and check it out now

The last photo speaks to me, @tattoodjay!
Sometimes I just want to be all alone, by myself, to myself.
Looking at the photo seems and endless walk, which I really need at this time!

Thanks
I love that last shot but wasn’t sired what others would think of it so thanks for the positive feedback

Nice walk place around Buttonwood park photography.

👍🙂👍Thanks kindly your support is appreciated

Have a great day

This is such a lovely walk. I walked my own neighborhood yesterday again, so I didn't post as I did that last week. I need to get out more.

I really like this park and attached to the zoo, even more incentive to go. I am warmed by all the Memorials, hate the idea that they even need to put one up as it means they went to war, but, I am sure it is heartwarming for a relative, knowing that the town was thinking of them.

It has been so nice to come along as you show off New Bedford. It has been so nice for me to go back up there, if only virtually. You really picked a wonderful town with so much character to settle in.

Thank you for the wonderful walk!

I do like memorials but I agree it would be good if we did not need so many of them

This city is so much more than I thought it would be

Interesting that they have memorials for different nationalities, races and faiths. Is it near a military base or historical grounds that they would have the memorials there?

I have a #WednesdayWalk post for you with more birds and wildflower blooms https://peakd.com/hive-106444/@porters/wednesday-walk-baby-birds-and-wildflower-blooms
