A few years ago a small group of friends and I used to go for regular walks on the Ganatchio Trail. It was a fun way to both get some exercise and get to know each other a little better, and I have fond memories of those friendship-building days back when I was first putting down roots in Windsor. Today’s Photo Friday prompt – “On A Walk” – is a sweet reminder of one of the sights we passed on our usual route.
Though I may have gone a little overboard on editing (apps are fun!), I quite like the composition of this photo. It’s definitely among my favourites, partly for how it turned out and partly for the memories it evokes.
Maybe this spring I can find some local friends who are up for reviving our walking dates! Any takers?!
Do you have a favourite walking route?
Please share!

It’s easy to take great photos on my favorite walk–the Monterey coast. Nature is magnificent. But I love your photo very much.

Check out Meet up groups in your area for a local walking group (http://thoughtstipsandtales.com/2014/09/15/meetup-groups-great-way-pursue-hobbies-meet-new-people/). Just love the one I’m in! Those women move fast!! And it’s great exercise, while seeing new places and talking to interesting people.

This is beautiful Laurel…My favourite walking trail is in Shillong where I grew up, maybe because it’s such a beautiful place & also because I’m partial to it 🙂

Even though the image is a bit over-processed as you said, it definitely makes the onlooker, I like it 🙂 Back when we were in London, we used to do walking trails every couple of weeks with a bunch of friends. Nothing like bonding over nature, right? In India, well, it’s a different story. The concrete palaces are taking over most of the trails.

That picture is gorgeous. You have a lovely track to walk on. Living in the middle of the city I end up walking just around my apartment – round and round and round! Good luck with finding friends.

Yes, photo editing can be addicting! This one makes me feel cozy and summery all at once 🙂 I love walking, usually in my neighborhood because it is easy. My mom and I walked our first half marathon last year in Jacksonville, FL, and mile 6 was on the beach! Looking forward to more beach-walking in the future 🙂

Looks so idyllic! 🙂 I hope you find some more walking buddies. There’s nothing like fresh air and exercise to feel truly alive.

I hope so too. I’m anxious to get out there again once the weather is a bit warmer.
