This post is for the #WednesdayWalk by @tattoodjay (JJ)

Here are the guidelines for this challenge:

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 focus on.

Try to limit yourself to a set distance or time from the starting location, say five Blocks, five 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 will try and visit them all.

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

I love posting for him! I can make my own rules! Bonus!!

First... there must be flowers! Always!

I know that my post is all about the walk, but, I have to be honest, I need a little help this morning. Who doesn't need a little go-juice in the morning? Except for our host, he doesn't need it. He is all a go-go without it.

But that is my cup and no he doesn't live within 1,000 miles of me

So, on to the walk!! It was an absolutely gorgeous day! Every day that I am vertical and walking about, I count as a win. Every day is a gift, one that I never intend to take for granted and one that I will not waste.

Life is so fleeting.

I usually walk in one of the Civil War Battlefields. It almost completely surrounds where I live, giving me the nature that I crave and the city that I love. Not this shot, that is just the neighborhood.

I walk along, meander through, pop in, stroll aside and sometimes run the length of the battlefield. It is a beautiful place, teaming with life, nature, and people. Although there are days I see not a soul. I do my best thinking as me and nature commune.

It has so many trails and paths. You could literally walk there all day long and never do the same path twice. It makes for an interesting walk each and every day. There are a lot of birders out there and they have been teaching me the call of some of them.

Cool beans.

I sometimes will take Henry, our horse out there. Horses are allowed on the battlefield. That makes him very happy! I can saddle him up at the house. I don't even have to trail him down. I digress. Focus! This is my walk.

I am surrounded by wild daisies. Everywhere, I look, their happy little faces are smiling at me.

They are not very impressive looking, but, I remain impressed nonetheless. Right in the middle of the battlefield, a Civil War Cemetery.

I found this kind of odd when I moved to the Washington, DC area, but, in fact, there are hundreds of them all around the area. In the middle of nowhere, to right beside your local Macy's... there is no likely spot, just where it happened.

I look out for them now. Usually, there is wrought iron fencing, but, this is out of barn wood, probably in keeping with the "neighborhood."

The ground is still heavily laden with dew. It is a most welcome sight as the days have been warm and suck the life out of the plants without proper hydration. Natures way of making up.

Everything surrounding me is still in the new phase, fresh as it will ever be. I look around me and I cannot help it. I know I am repeating myself when I say this, but, Oh! What a wonderful world!

Run!! Here come the lambs. They are just weaned and looking for their mamas.

Well, this is my first submission into the #WednesdayWalk and I hope to continue as this really was a fun challenge. I want to thank @tattoodjay for initiating and hosting it and I also want to thank @old-guy-photos for taking the time out of his busy day to help me out (Read: Make it for me) with my Gif. Have a most fabulous week!

Au Revoir!

Don't ever forget what a wonderful world we live in, people. Let's hold hands around the globe and make this earth really spin. Some days, it is not as easy to see, so we must try harder to give everyone the proper focus.
