Wednesday walk and make me smile challenge and Steem Basic Income Give away

H

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

You can look for anything in general or decide on one subject you want to get shots off.

Try to limit yourself to a set distance or time from the starting location, say 5 Blocks, 5 Minutes walk or whatever and see what you can find in that short distance

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.

Following me and resteeming the post so more see it would be appreciated but isn't a rule just a suggestion, but you may have a better chance of receiving a Steem Basic Income Share if you do.

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

I will try and visit, resteem and upvote all who take part in the Wednesday Walk, plus I will be sending @steembasicincomeshares to a selection of those who participate.

Actifit

A good App that works well in conjunction with the Wednesday Walk or any day walk is @actifit, which rewards you with Actifit Tokens and Steemit Upvotes, if you use the app to track your steps and do a post of your actifit total each day.

If you do a lot of activity I do recommend you check it out

Make me Smile Collaboration

As I mentioned above Wednesday Walk is collaborating with the [Make Me Smile] hosted by @elizacheng,
On the third Wednesday of the month out two challenges will collaborate so if you combine the two into one post you have double the fun

Here are the rules for her challenge

Your post can be writing, singing, video, poem,drawing, photography etc.... the most important part is your post Make me" smile, Remember, the ME is whoever read/view/listen to your post and this includes YOURSELF.
b. Your content must be ORIGINAL CONTENT
c. Please include at least 50 Words in your post

So the collaboration giveaway is as follows
As well as the SBI shares normally given away from the Wednesday Walk and Make me Smile Challenge, we will send one SBI Share each to one lucky winner who joins both challenges in one post

This weeks walk I am sharing some shots I took on a walk through Central Park, near the Zoo, Sort of Animals at the zoo except there are no real animals in this post

Starting with this shot of the Dinosaur they have there at the moment, I thought it was pretty cool and will share a full shot of it later in the post

Steem Basic Income give away

I mentioned in the guidelines that from this week I will be sponsoring a few who join the #wednesdaywalk challenge with shares on Steem Basic Income

What is Steem Basic Income you may ask well here is how they explain it

Steem Basic Income is a social experiment to bring a basic income to as many Steemians as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Steem Basic Income is delivered through providing regular upvotes to member content. so I have decided to send some Steem Basic Income shares to 5 people selected through a random draw so on the weekend all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk. @zekepickleman, @dswigle, @annephilbrick, @boddhisattva, @kaminchan, all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk . And a bonus this week @elizacheng will send one SBI share to @fitinfun,

I would love to be able to give everyone who joins a Steem Basic Income share, but I don't make enough steem each week to do so, but I will try and share them around fairly between those that join the challenge

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

Hey man! Awesome idea, I love it! I might need to do a dedicated Wednesday walk post, though, since only the first 5 tags actually work (for example, this post is not found in actnearn). Also you misspelled wednesdaywalk and marlians in your tags. 😃

Thanks and thanks for pointing out the misspelling I clearly was still half asleep not he train when I moved this post to busy so I could use more tags LOL
I fixed the spelling of both but wondering why I am bothering using more than 5 tags if only the first 5 actually work, I may as well go back to just using 5 I guess

Thanks also for te beer

That is crazy,, I just changed the tags so my tag is in the first 5 and dropped a few this just is so confusing at times, I am wondering should i just go back to using 5 tags and keep it simple LOL

That’s fine I always read the post but seldom read others comments and for most posts I think that’s better that way it’s a genuine comment on the persons post and what it brought to mind
I don’t think it’s a problem if I few feel and say the same thing

An hour?!?
Ok, just admit you've been busy... playing with the monkeys and the bell... C'mon, be honest, I know you! 😉

On a sidenote: Maybe I should try Actifit... but what kind of phone do you use? I didn't try before because I'm whole for samsung, phone & watch, and as such an avid user of the Samsung Health app... but of course that one doesn't cryptonise me 😃

Actifit works fine on Android infact I think there is more features for android than Apple
Hang in Samsung switch from android for there watch didn’t they I used to be a Samsung user but switch to Apple a few years back

And lol well the walk fir these photos was five minutes the hour or so was to the office afterwards

As for the monkeys and bell I am not as young as I used to be and could not climb up there lol

What a great shot of the dinosaur! He looks a little like out of Jurassic Park, doesn't he? I am not sure that fence will keep him in!!!

I loved the mono shot, it really caught my eye, but, my second favorite was the closeup of the monkeys. :)

Great #WednesdayWalks!!!

The dinosaur 🦖 was a cool thing to come across I must say it made me smile 😊 yes I know I am still a little kid at heart luckily he was very docile and stayed on his side of the fence so I was able to safely get away

Now those monkeys and the bell also tickled me and it always does if I pass that way I look up to see them

Thanks for the link such a sweet post 👍😎👍

Ohh this past couple of years they have bene building more than ever 1 World trade Centre is still the tallest, but the empires state building which was the third tallest only a year ago I believe is now or soon will be 7th highest with new ones going up, many of them wont be opened till next year or later but have already topped out in construction so they make the list
