# 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 :) 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** > 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. # 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 For this weeks walk Post I will share a few shots of a Walk I did around Buttonwood Park here in New Bedford, its a nice good sized Park, with the Buttonwood Zoo included but for this post I am walking around the park I was focused on getting some shots of the memorials and features there, Starting with this little piece not to far from the entrance to the Zoo ![ww Buttonwood park memorials-7.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tattoodjay/23u5teHbg64aYjDUGZeWboMnPx5qw12Kj75nEkfJq1gyR8Z8e4DnSGye11vTXHu7WNXhN.jpg) ^{**Sony A7iii 62mm F8 1/250 ISO 100**} ^{**[Click here to view larger](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tattoodjay/23u5teHbg64aYjDUGZeWboMnPx5qw12Kj75nEkfJq1gyR8Z8e4DnSGye11vTXHu7WNXhN.jpg)**}
As I said I was focusing on some of the Memorials in the park, Starting with this one in Memory of American Portuguese war Veterans ![ww Buttonwood park memorials-3.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tattoodjay/48YcBErCaHPTJK5W6kB3eXMUCecD5g4UNhK3UhJoB1cpqbyGYaudaHNxCCUmEkExmh.jpg) ^{**Sony A7iii 24mm F8 1/250 ISO 100**} ^{**[Click here to view larger](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tattoodjay/48YcBErCaHPTJK5W6kB3eXMUCecD5g4UNhK3UhJoB1cpqbyGYaudaHNxCCUmEkExmh.jpg)**}

There are other memorials in the park, some I havent got shots of, but a couple I will save for a post on their own as I have a few shots of them, but to show the area I walked a last couple of shots, a big straight stretch of the walk was along this road, beside the park ![ww Buttonwood park memorials-4.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tattoodjay/242hQGLzguDsRGjfcjihdTJouXNSh1dKX5rCgqYhkyMZKMEi7PceVdew14ftZxMaj3mPh.jpg) ^{**[Click here to view larger](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tattoodjay/242hQGLzguDsRGjfcjihdTJouXNSh1dKX5rCgqYhkyMZKMEi7PceVdew14ftZxMaj3mPh.jpg)**}
And some of the walk was along this smaller side road with a path under the trees ![ww Buttonwood park memorials-6.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tattoodjay/23xp2ZUdLnHGZfMKuRc3ZvyABa4oCrYmvKL3a7pLSrABoH1YvfoD4CXWNXRFDiN3cFRij.jpg) ^{**[Click here to view larger](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/tattoodjay/23xp2ZUdLnHGZfMKuRc3ZvyABa4oCrYmvKL3a7pLSrABoH1YvfoD4CXWNXRFDiN3cFRij.jpg)**}
