Wednesday Walk Mondo Ponds

Wednesday Walk

Wednesday Walk is a challenge started by me, the idea being 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.

Wednesday Walk - The Challenge 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.

Try and get a few shots not just one

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

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

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 wil try and visit them all.

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

Mondo Pond Trails

For this weeks post I will share some shots of a walk around the Mondo Ponds trails here in Milford CT

This is where I started my Walk, I parked in the Car Park of the JFK School and entered the trails here, The trails are around a couple of ponds.

I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get the walk in, I started driving to the ponds and suddenly the skies opened up and fairly heavy rain started falling to I headed to a shop to pick up some things a bit frustrated that I wasn't going to get the walk in, and five minutes later when I came out of the shop the rain stopped so I headed to the trails.

Now I have entered the trails and started my walk, it was still a bit cloudy but wasn't raining at least

I always think after rain when you see the drops on the leaves as in this shot, it looks more beautiful, I also feel after the rain it really brings out the greens but maybe thats just me imagining it.

As I was strolling along enjoying the fresh air and sounds of birds, I noticed the shadows on the water and had to get a shot.

Speaking of birds i heard many while walking around but didn't see one close enough to get a shot, that is the norm for me I do not have much luck getting shots of birds.

I wasn't the only one enjoying the trails that day, I saw one guy walking his dog and this guy fishing.

And this finishes my Wednesday walk post for this week, It was quite refreshing walking these trails, I did get a few more shots but haven't had time to edit them yet which includes a couple of shots over the ponds, hopefully tonight I can find the time to edit them for a follow on post.

PS - I am on a training course for the next three days so bare with me I will reply to any comments at the end of the day

And thanks for joining the Wednesday walk :)

Incredible bright greens, made more so by rain. Looks a lovely place to visit.

That is an awesome trail. I'm glad you could enjoy your day. Maybe it is starting to get cold back in Kiwi land.

I did have a good day, and yes Back in NZ the weather will be getting cooler they are heading into the middle of winter

Is that to much? Even took a picture of my shoe 😂👟 lol
I do it my way and then you can yell at me or say... It works or.... Really? This doesn't count as Wednesdaywalk.. Lol

Thanks for that and yes you can post as many as you wish that’s no problem at all

Ok good to know... Lol
