A bridge walk

This past weekend Justin, Chay, Chaga and I went on a walk around Nayland and Wiston. It's amazing how a fresh walk can build your spirits! We were all energized - even when walking through the muddy field.

Since there were so many bridges along this particular walk, I decided to take photos of us at every bridge. I did forget one bridge along the way, but got all of the others.


Bridge #1: At the very beginning of our walk in Nayland


Bridge #2: In Wiston near the round church. This is a lovely bridge and part of the trail. This bridge crosses the River Stour.


After crossing the Stour, we decided to investigate a bit closer to the river.


Bridge #3: Just after crossing the River Stour, the trail wends it's way through a sweet little tree plantation before coming to this bridge.


Just after crossing Bridge 3, Justin and I both noticed how incredible the light was. Chay and Chaga of course were standing at the right place, at the right time, in the right light.


Justin and Chay in the grove. Look at how every little branch is covered in moss!


Bridge #4: Justin said I'd never get the camera to rest on the railing along this bridge. That generally means you'll get it to work just the way you want it to!


My girl. Just look at how beautiful she is!


Bridge #5: Between Bridges 4 and 5, the path works it's way through the above field which, at this time of year, is a mud pit. In this picture we were comparing our boots to see whose was the most muddy. We all agreed that Justin's boots won!


Bridge #6: This was by far the tiniest bridge on the walk.


Walking up the one hill on this walk.


We made it to the top!


And here we all are, at the top of the hill, taking a little break.


And there you have it. Our walk appropriately ended, of course, on a bridge.

  2. It was a fabulous day for us! This time of year we don't get many full days full of sunshine. This day was an anomaly for sure!
