My Actifit Report Card: August 12 2019
Downtown but still by the water
For this evenings acifit post I share some photos taken with my iPhone
Today I decided to listen to my wife who said yesterday as I fell asleep on the couch while watching a movie, that I should somedays sleep in and not get up at 4Am as I do most days and head out for a walk and taking photos, so this morning I woke at4 ish and decided to lay in and try to get some more sleep, now I may have dozed off a little bit but I seemed to be checking the time every 15 or 20 Minutes and eventually climbed out of bed at 6Am and went for a walk around downtown where I got the shots for today's post;
Funny thing is I swear I feel more tired today after trying to sleep in than I normally do, but anyway onto today's walk and photos
I walked downdown and by the river, this first shot is on the walkway by Lisman Landing

behind me in the first shot is the docks which I walked down by and got this next shot of one of the working boats.

My walk took me over the Hotchkiss bridge which is always nice at this time of year with all the flower posts, this coming weekend this bridge and area will be busy, its Oyster Fest on this coming Saturday the big event here in Milford and the town will be packed, and hence I will probably stay away from this area then.

While on the bridge I looked down into the river and noticed it was full of bunker fish, I have only seen it with so many of them in the river once before, they ended up draining a lot of oxygen from the river and hundred if not thousands of the fish died and floated up to the top of the water, and the area smelt terrible, I suspect the same may happen again as I noticed two or three dead fish this morning

Speaking of fish, this guy was busy preparing his nets and fishing gear on the boat, I am not sure if this was preparing before going out fishing or cleaning up after fishing

Beautiful walk this morning @tattoodjay. Looks so peaceful with the boats, floweres and sandy paths.bThat is a lot of fish, why do you think they are swarming like that? Is there a food source of some kind? It's tough to sleep in sometimes, I would imagine you are so wired to wake up at an early hour it will take you a while to sleep in a bit. Just now I am able to sleep in after many many years of jumping out of bed and going for an early 5:30 am run. Not so much now, lol
To be honest I have no idea why the fish are doing that i have seen it once before but didnt find a good reason why they do it at the time
IT was a nice morning walk a good way to start the day
I dont think I will ever adjust to sleeping in i have bene getting up at the same time since i was 14 and honestly do not see the need to change yet :) even in Winter when I dont go for as many walks I still get up at the same time and love the quiet of the morning
Thanks for the support and resteem
Nice photos that one of the fish is pretty cool. Also good job on the step count. Thank again for supporting my stuff.
Thanks those fish were cool but I hope they dont start dying off then the smell will be horrible
Lol, not too shabby for "okay shot!" I wish my okay shots looked as good as yours. I love the bridge and fishman shots.
I also think I feel more tired whenever I keep hitting the snooze button on my alarm than I would if I just got up.
Thanks so kind of you to say
I woke before the alarm this morning at 4 am and feel good 👍😎👍
Your welcome, I hope you enjoy your day.
Apart from aches and pains because of it being a damp day my day s going pretty good so far i hope yours is as well
I'm not too good at going back to sleep myself, @tattoodjay. It's better for me to get up and take a nap later if I need to. Great pics and walk as always. I love the fisherman shot and the bridge with the flowers. Such a pretty place you got yourself to :)
I woke early at 4 this morning mind you only 15 minutes early but got up and feeling good this morning
Have a great day
It's always interesting when our brains are wired to get up at certain times even when we don't want to do that. I wake up around sunrise every day and get up to do various tasks that could wait until later. Then, I fall asleep around 6 pm for a catnap. I'd rather sleep later in the morning than nap in the evening. At least you get some great pictures. I really like the one with all those fish. Pretty cool.
Glad it’s just not me like that I have got used to waking around 4:15 since about 14 and that’s the time I wake everyday
If I have an evening nap then I am messed up and won’t sleep well that night so I try to avoid them
Enjoyed the quiet area you walked through today, too many fish in that water why have they over-bred in that area. Agree too many rob the water of oxygen and stink when they start becoming floaters.
Catching a quick 40 winks on the sofa is not a bad thing if you feel refreshed after, laying down never works in daylight hours... well not for me.
I am not sure why this happens with the fish 🐟 there are normally plenty of them in this part of the river but usually not as many as at the moment I do wonder why
There were a few floaters yesterday hope there aren’t to many more as then the area will get terrible with the smell
I can doze on and off watching a movie I often do actually I am a full speed or full stop kind of person and if the movie isn’t really gripping me or making me think about things I will doze on and off fir little bursts and be fine
But if I lie down for a nap 😴 then I may feel fine afterwards but won’t sleep at night
Cheers
Hope "fishy" problem does not become a stinky problem, perhaps it is a spawning area.
Sleeping sitting up-right never, sleeping horizontal during the day I would have to be exceptionally ill, still don't sleep more just laying down enjoying the comfort of my pillows.....
Look forward to your next walk about, it is a very pretty area.
I hope the same when it happened a few years back the smell lingered for a long time
I know many who have a nap each afternoon but like you I can only do that if I am ill otherwise it messing up my sleeping at night

Looking forward on your Oyster Fest event, Jay! I love oysters, lol
Why does hotchkiss bridge called hotchkiss? Lovely smartphone photography 👍🏻
I think it is named after one of the early residents of the city but am not sure of that
I do likeOysters but will probably stay away from he Oyster Fest gets to crowded for my liking
