Good Morning, I hope your week is goign well, if not its hump day and all down hill from here to the weekend ;)

Today I will share some shots from a walk in Buttonwood Park, a spot I often visit when I go out for daytime walks, and I do tend to mainly walk around the pond, but this day after a visit tot he zoo I decided to walk around the outside of the park for a change, and got plenty of shots but for this post will focus on some of the memorials I saw,
Starting with this weather sign near the entrance to the zoo

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.

I hope a few of you may find this an interesting challenge and decide to join in.

unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.

Aside from the beautiful trees in the background, I like this kind of walk around these memorials, as they are very educational.😊

Wow, the memorials are all shiny and well kept, you would think they might try to put a nicer sign out front to compliment them!

The memorials you photographed looks very well maintained, still shiny, clean and the background is also very beautiful, with lots of trees.

So interesting that there is such variety in the memorials. It looks like a beautiful place to take a walk and enjoy the day. So many people have lost their lives in the wars over the years, and those from the holocaust as well. I was one of the lucky ones who walked away in one piece from the military. Thanks for sharing those great pictures. How's the weather this week?

I to was fortunate to walk away in one piece from the military, I did 12 years, actuallt thinking about it in the military I was never in any danger, cannot say the same for my time in peacekeeping

Peacekeeping is far more dangerous than combat. Militaries aren't trained to keep the peace, they're trained to kill and destroy. I got into some close calls but always lucked out.
