Walking "The Circuit"

Jenn has been challenging me to do more walking, and I'm taking her up on it.


This morning I did a four mile "circuit" around our neighborhood. I took my camera with me to capture some of the sites along the way.


I head east and pass the Village Green with the statue of Vermont's first Governor, Thomas Chittenden.

I go by the library in front of the school, and then I pass the Brick Church.

Yikes, I almost stepped on...roadkill?
               

At the Federated Church, I turn north. 





I walk on the bridge over Allen Brook.

There are some wetlands here, some cattails, and lots of Queen Anne's Lace in full bloom.

I stop to take lots of photos of the flocks of birds in the hayfield.

This is right across from the local golf course.

Someone is selling "chicks and hens" plants for 25 cents each. Leave your cash in the box.

I see that it is trash and recycle pick up day. Even the trash can makes a statement! 






At the intersection, I turn west. I remember when I used to walk on the road here before the pathway was put in. It's so much better now, and safer.

Uh-oh...This may have happened during the storm we had last night.


At Adam's Market, I turn south and begin to head toward home. (This view is looking east, the direction I just walked.)

I see the progress of the construction on this road. The town is extending the walkway for pedestrians and bikers. Again, it will be a lot safer than walking on the road.

And now I'm almost home. 

This is one of my favorite photos of the day. Thank you for sharing my walk with me.
