My Actifit Report Card: September 7 2019
Eisenhower Park
For tonights post as is my new norm I am starting with a couple of photos taken with my camera and following with some iPhone shots for my actifit portion of the post
I will start with a couple of shots in Eisenhower Park A nice little park we have here in Milford, I did not get out for an early morning walk today as at sunrise it was raining and windy with the outer bands of Hurricane Dorain passing by, nothing much at all, so we were os lucky compared to those in the Bahamas and some areas of the states, got hit hard by it, and my thoughts go out to all those who have been affected by Dorian.
Starting with a look over one of the small streams in the park and the bridge crossing over it

As you have probably guessed if you have been following me for a while I do love being by the water and that shows again in this case as my two camera photos for this post feature water in the Park, this next shot is one of the ponds there, which at the time had quite a few water lilies and other plants growing on the pond, none close enough tot he shore for me to get shots of them so instead I share a shot of the pond

Actifit portion/iPhone photos
Like I said earlier I did not get out for an early morning walk today but I did make a visit to Eisenhower Park about Mid-morning to get some steps in, plus a bit of walking around later in the day while my wife was getting her hair colored, but for this post I will focus on my Visit to Eisenhower Park, I do love this little park any time of year, but today there was a different reason I visited there, once a year they hold a fire Muster there, which is where various fire trucks gather both ones currently in operation and some vintage ones, they also have firefighters competitions, a marker, food stalls and the like so I had to go and check it out since I missed it last year.
This first shot is walking into the car park where many of the fire trucks were located.

Loved the two water shots. The engine pics are great too. Sometimes a plethora of fire trucks loses its impact in a photo. But it's amazing to see so many vintage ones all together in one place.

I missed the muster the last couple of years and I am not sure if its just my imagination, but the turn out this year seemed to me to be less than in previous years
I did with my camera get some individual shots of the vehicles and will share some in future posts
I am very happy to read that where you are located was not affected by Hurricane Dorain, it has been very devastating where it has passed. Hey dear friend, what great photos and moments you have captured, I loved the photo of the small lake.
Yes we were very lucky but so sad to see all the dame that has been done to other areas especially the Bahamas
Yes, it crash very hard over there, it's very sad, so many people, that catastrophe.
Yes so very sad to see all the damage
That's right, let's keep praying to get ahead of this situation.
indeed that is what we must do
Ohhh wow! Love that first shot... so green and a real sight for sore eyes...
Not to mention the waterway - beautiful! I can already imagine the gurgling water sounds... :)
Ohh yeah I do love the sound although quite gentle there of the water running over the rocks
