Wednesday Walk the Beach and Winsegansett Marshes

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 :)

Any questions about the challenge read the guide at the Bottom of the post ;)

For this weeks walk although I have walked a few more trails, I did a trail last week so I thought I would share a walk on a little beach I took a stroll on at the end of one of the trails, the walk is called the Winsegansett Marshes reserve and its a short pleasant stroll then you come across this beach which I took a stroll along

as you can see it was a nice morning, a comfortable temperature and nice soft clouds in the sky and lots of wild flowers growing by the beach

Parts of the beach were sandy and some were rocky

and looking closer when I got to this rocky part, I realized it was the remnants of some structure that had bene built there

and looking further along the beach, I saw one other person further down the beech walking his dog, but we never crossed paths

I came to this spot with some beach grass, not sure of thats what its called but its what I call it growing in the water

and past more Wild Flowers
I think I must prefer wild flowers growing like this over ones in a garden

and walking around the beach a bit more I came to the marshes

and across the marsh in the distance i saw another Osprey nest, I did not have my big lens with me, I generally don't take in on my trail walks as it is so heavy

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

Just one Wednesday Walk tagged post a week

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.
