Wednesday Walk make me smile post going festive

This post if for Wednesday walk challenge And Make me Smile Collaboration challenge, initially our collaboration was once a month but due to the popularity of it we have decided to make the collab a weekly thing :)

Note I want to thank @bluemist for sponsoring this challenge starting from this week, due to their support I will be from next week sending out Steem to a selection of people who partake in the Wednesday walk as I will explain in the guidelines below all of the liquid rewards for this post will be shared with a selection of participants.

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.

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.

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, plus I will be sending some Steem to a selection of those who participate, please note this is a change from sending out SBI shares, as I did in the past.

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,

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 Wednesday Walk remains in the theme of most of my posts this week Festive decorations around NYC, and these shots were taken mostly on a walk a week ago today at around this time

Starting with the Louis Vuitton Shop on 5th Avenue, with the big Star in front of it over 5th Avenue

And this last shot is not the best of shots, but I have to share it as my Daughter in Law always has loved Coach bags since i have known her, so I would be remiss not to include a shot of it in a post

Weekly giveaway of shares

I have sent Steem to a few people selected through a random draw so on the weekend all people who joined in last weeks Wednesday walk. this week I am sending 5 Steem to @traciyork, @c0ff33a, @practicaleric, @nutman, @deerjay, @eglep, @ninahaskin,
@elizacheng will send one SBI share to @kamrunnahar,

Note: my projected total liquid steem income from last Wednesday's post will be around 35 Steem I am sending out 35 Steem to people.

As @elizacheng and I collaborated with our Wednesday Walk and Make me Smile Challenges

And one person is randomly drawn who joins both challenges to receive an SBI share from me and this week it is @TBA

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.

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.

Winter photography helps make everything look crisp and clean in the early morning walks you take. Enjoyed candy bar photography with unusual art today.

There is something about the simplicity of that store on Park Ave. and the second to the last one that really speaks to me. I think the big lights and decorations are awesome, but sometimes the simple elegance of displays like that can really be awesome.

The photos look awesome Jay! The first and second photos are my favorite. I do like how the NYPD colors work so well with the Harry Winston colors..that was a nice catch. I love this time of year with the Christmas lights and decor. Looking forward to seeing more! 😊 💖
Thank you again for the steem! 🤗

Just started watching Season one episode 1, well the new Season one if I remember correctly the original Dr Who started inthe 60s and thats what I have seen before

I have only seen a few from these old eposiodes from the sixties, but every other episode from the newer Seasons until Season 10 I think.
I cannot work and watch movies at the same time - I need to concentrate either on one or the other, but as I don't want to miss anything from a movie or tv show I watch only when I have enough time and the !DERANGED Daleks have to wait ;)

Next, love these festive shots! My favorite is the Louis Vuitton store front, with the Park Ave pair of xmas trees coming in a close second. Totally putting me in the holiday mood!

Speaking of holidays, my walk today has some holiday decorating done by Mother Nature (for the third time in a week... argh! LOL!)
