A White And Wintery Wednesday Walk

20211130_222429_HDR.jpg

Walking outside with the cool Canadian air filling my lungs I stop to take a picture of a nearby school. Stones are placed in unison where the kids gather to share stories and memories. Nestled in between some trees this is a beautiful spot to take a moment and reflect on things. I come here on my nightly walks and sit down on one of the stones thinking about life and appreciating all the things it has to offer.

I have been doing these nightly walks on and off for 2 months now but as of lately I have not been active in getting outside and enjoying the outdoors as much. Thanks to @dswigle and her beautiful post it inspired me to get out and write about it. I have just recently joined the hive community just 3 months ago mainly posting about splinterlands content, but in the last month, I have joined a bunch of communities and want to start blogging about other things I'm interested in.

A spotlight shines down on the snow-filled park, I like to come here and get a little workout in they have resistance machines here and a bunch of other things that you can use to get active and do a workout. Mainly I use the parallel bars to do some incline pushups and then jump over to the monkey bars to do some hip raises.

These are the parallel bars that I love to use and with it being night no one is around so it is nice and peaceful and can I get my workout done in a serene and soothing way. No music just the sounds of the environment and a few rabbits that like to run around suits me just fine.

Finishing off on the monkey bars for some hip raises and free hangs, doing it today actually wore me out since it's been close to a month since I have stopped by here and done anything so I will definitely be feeling the soreness tomorrow. Well worth it though I have to get back to doing this daily again as it felt great and I feel it is a vital part of a balanced lifestyle.

A nice little selfie along the highway street lights and businesses light up the background. For as busy as this highway is I love walking by it I don't know why I find it calming but the sounds of big rigs and blinding lights just keep me moving.

My final obstacle to overcome was the skating rink parking lot, this was a slippery slope but I managed to conquer it. In Alberta, it is very common for a lot of melting and refreezing to occur in a day it was beautiful today and a lot of snow and ice melted. Come night time and it has all frozen over again turning the streets and parking lots iced glazed interstate.

Firstly thanks for joining the Wednesday Walk, I am glad @dswigle's post helped you find your way here
Looks like a cold and brisk walk, but you even managed to get some exercise in as well
That parking lot looks so icy like a skating rink on its won

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)

Thank you so much man, appreciate all the kind words. Yea I have been overwhelmed by all the amazing things here on the hive blockchain it has been a completely new and surreal experience.

I have been joining a bunch of other communities here aside from the few gaming ones I was in and looking to add to them in any way I can. So many awesome people here to learn from and engage with. I have been a pretty antisocial guy the past few years but I have opened up again with my introduction to this place and want to share anything and everything I can.

Thanks for stopping by and reading my first submission will look forward to doing it again next week :)

Most welcome, and to be honest I am a kind of anti-social person in normal life but have found it comfortable to be active on here ;)

Wow it looks so cold. I'm from a tropical country, then I think I cannot walk under that weather, I'm just freezing. Anyway, the scenery with snow looks interesting. @drabs587

LOL I love the gif, It was a little chilly not too bad it gets to be -40 here in the winter so that is when it is really cold but this was a nice chill. I do love the snow not as much as I use to but it is always enjoyable for a little bit.

That's awesome I would love to visit a tropical place where it's sunny all the time thanks for stopping by and reading my post 😀

Yoo Fam it's a very good post. I love running in early morning but it's been a while since I even walked outside for a little bit and your post just reminded me how lazy I became, hopefully I will change that soon.
Thank you for the post.
Keep up the good work

We all love you fam #NOSLEEPGANG

LOL too funny, Yes I'm so happy I joined as well I still have a long way to go in writing and blogging.

It still amazes me people enjoy my content or come by and leave a nice comment that is very meaningful to me as I haven't had that with anybody in my life. I have connected with so many people on here now and that has really uplifted my spirits from the past year.

Look forward to the next one and getting even more engaged in these awesome communities. Time seems to always be an issue these days but when is it not lol.

you will find all the places where you gel - and it will become so fun when you have those communities that become like family to you!!! and don't feel bad when one is a better fit than the others. or some fall to the wayside.

you will find where you naturally connect - and let it just happen! :)

really enjoyed you today.

You did it! Yay! I am so late for the party! Thanks for the shout-out! This is one way to hurry that walk along, go out in the cool of the evening. Don't the monkey bars get cold? My hands are cold just thinking about it!

I would have been really tempted to take a running slide on the parking lot. The grownup in me says that breaking anything at this time of year is verboten. I am so happy to see you get your post in #WednesdayWalk It was great and I get to see more of Alberta!

Don't be a stranger! Have a great night!

Hive on!

LOL that is exactly what I did I had to take a running slide on it 😂 and yes the monkey bars are cold but my gloves protect from that a little bit slippery with them on but better than freezing my hands off hehe.

Thank you so much for stopping by your post was so amazing and I had to do one myself. I am so new to HIVE but have been in love with the communities here. There are so many amazing people here sharing stories and walks of life and it's special to be part of it.

I never thought anyone would care to read about me or what's going on in my relatively mundane life but since blogging on here the number of people I have met and had interactions with has been overwhelming. I'm still finding my way here and learning more every day, but I'm so happy to be a part of the HIVE community and meet some amazing people.

Definitely won't be a stranger I look forward to more of your posts and beautiful photography thanks again for taking the time to stop by and comment ❤️

We'll stay tuned tomorrow because my community, is tomorrow. I usually post it at midnight Eastern as I am in Washington DC and this way people that are on the other side of the pond and Asia can see it when it first post. It is called Market Friday and if you are interested you can go over to my blog and take a peek and see what it's like. It's been around for four years and still running pretty strong, but it has its big days. Thanks so much and if you ever need to know something just ask! Any one of us will point you in the right direction, because after all every single one of us remembers what it's like to be new. I think you're doing great!

Thank you glad you enjoyed them, Yes Canada is pretty beautiful I need to see more of it myself I have not ever really travelled far. Just around Alberta but now I wanna go all over the place I still need to get my passport to travel outside the country, but never thought that was something I would do in my life.

Snow is fun especially if you haven't seen it or experienced it before snowball fights and sledding are great examples. Plus I always find waking up on Xmas with a ton of snow outside is a special time and brings a certain joy to me when it happens.

OMG, that first photo is splendid! I adore the night and love seeing night photography. What a wonderful spot, with that circle of stones! I would prefer visiting on a warm spring night, though! 😊 Thanks for joining us at PYPT!
