These guys are about a one minute walk from my house. It is a subdivision flanked by a few farms. Ah! The best of both worlds. I cut through the pasture because there is no bull there today!

Otherwise, it is the long way for me!

I love the huge trees surrounding my life. Oh, hug a tree today and embrace its size. I think of how this mighty oak was but a tiny acorn once upon a time. Nature never ceases to amaze me. They do their due diligence and give off oxygen, all the while making our earth a more beautiful place.

It is a short walk through the woods as I make my way to the Civil War Battlefield. Virginia is littered with battlefields and historical landmarks. I love living here where it is steeped in history and always has something going on.

I have never felt at a loss for culture nor for the farming community. You can have both within minutes of any city here. Literally. It is one of the redeeming things this area gives you - after taking in the fact that the traffic is normally horrific.

You can't have everything. But you can have a #WednesdayWalk!

This fencing surrounds most of the Civil War Battlefields and was used in that time frame. You will see it used throughout Virginia, Maryland and some parts of Pennsylvania. I haven't noted any in Ohio, but, somehow, I am sure there is some.

I was never really fond of its look, however, I have come to appreciate its significance as part of a historical landmark of a time. I guess it is all in how you perceive things.

I am enjoying the profuse blooming of these roses. The rain and the cooler temperatures last week surely gave these beauties a boost. Breathe in that aroma and see if it doesn't transport you to heaven. Oh, yes.

Don't forget to look up! You might miss the best part of your day!

Thank you so much for joining me on my #WednesdayWalk. I had a wonderful time showing off what makes my day in this area. There is so much to see, so much to do and truly remarkable people to do it with. Life is good. Embrace it!

Love is all around you!

What is the Wednesday Walk Challenge?

This challenge created by @tattoodjay. Here are the guidelines from one of his recent posts:

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

You can look for anything in general or decide on one subject you want to get shots off.

Try to limit yourself to a set distance or time from the starting location, say 5 Blocks, 5 Minutes walk or whatever and see what you can find in that short distance

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.

Following me and resteeming the post so more see it would be appreciated but isn't a rule just a suggestion, but you may have a better chance of receiving a Steem Basic Income Share if you do.

I am not strict on these rules and hence why they are called guidelines and not rules

I will try and visit, resteem and upvote all who take part in the Wednesday Walk, plus I will be sending @steembasicincomeshares to a selection of those who participate.

These shots were actually taken on a Wednesday but as I say above your walk can be any day of the week.
