Wednesday walk challenge - Milford green
Wednesday walk challenge - Milford green
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.
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 it this week please leave a link to your post in a comment on this post and I will try and visit them all.
Following me and Upvoting 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
New from this week
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.
For my Entry for the challenge for this week let me take you on a stroll I took on the Milford green

Starting here at the far end of the green, well the far end the way I approached the green I guess its the beginning if you come from the ther direction.
Why did I start at what I call the far end, it was where I could find a spot to park my Car.
As you can see its quite a wide green with plenty of trees and a few garden areas.
If your not familiar with the term of a city Green its basically a strip of grass varieing in size from city to city, some are plain with just grass and gardens or some are like out one with Grass, trees memorials,

Our green also has this gazebo, often when they have fairs or events on the green a band will be playing here, I have also seen many times people taking weddign photos in or by the Gazebo.

And finishing off with the Flag Pole, it is the Tallest flag pole in Connecticut.
Steem Basic Income give away
I mentioned in the guidelines that from this week I will be sponsoring a few who join the #wednesdaywalk challenge with shares on Steem Basic Income
What is Steem Basic Income you may ask well here is how they explain it
Steem Basic Income is a social experiment to bring a basic income to as many Steemians as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Steem Basic Income is delivered through providing regular upvotes to member content. so I have decided to randomly send some Steem to add shares for some of my followers so yesterday evening I sponsored the following people
@princessmewmew, @molometer, @madlenfox, @unicornquiffe, @leeart, @misterbob, @unataldani, @ecentrally,
All people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk, I would love to be able to give everyone who joins a Steem Basic Income share, but I don't make enough steem each week to do so, but I will try and share them around fairly between those that join the challenge.
I hope a few of you may find this an interesting challenge and decide to join in.

Want to have your post on the map too?
The sponsorship definitely made this post all the more interesting :D Thanks so much! I forgot to make my Wednesday post this week. I'll prolly make a summary of my food diary this week and post as one post.
I love green and the different hues of it. It is refreshing to the eyes. If only those benches can speak, they must have lots of stories to tell about the people who sat on them. The gazebo is indeed a nice place for a photoshoot.
Is that an eagle on top of the pole?
@leeart Thanks for the visit, and yes indeed if those benches could just talk :)

Nice town green @tattoodjay. I think they are most common in New England. In the plains states where I grew up, many towns had town squares. Which often had the courthouse or city hall sitting in the middle of a large square which included some green space. Then the road around the square was the business district with shops and offices. Gazebo picture is nice. It seems to fit perfectly with the homes along the street behind it.
YesI remember visiting a couple of places in that area and seeing the Square, and your right it is so common throughout New England for towns to have a green, funny how different areas have different styles
