When was the last time you walked somewhere?

[Laurin]

On a happier note, have a puppy.

[Susan]

That looks my cat, Cosmo. He is not alive anymore.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

On a sad note, my cats are deceased as well.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

But when they were alive, they loved to walk different places.

[Susan]

Every day.

[Riona]

That puppy's huge grin is hilarious.

[Félix]

Thanks for the puppy, Laurin!

[Laurin]

I thought the thread needed a little brightening.

My cat is alive and well.

I also went for a 6km walk with my son on Sunday. He rode his bike and waited for me to catch up every now and then.

6km=3.7miles

[Susan]

How sweet is your son?!

Nice job, by the way.

[evie]

It was a cool evening last night and perfect walking weather. I walked with with Mr evie for about twenty minutes.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

2.3 miles today.

Love LOVE him/her!

[evie]

What a smile!

[Susan]

Walked the neighborhood tonight. It was a perfect evening for a walk.

My favorite part is the cat trying to shove the dog away.

[Susan]

Little looks like that when he tells people no. Holds the hand out Vader style.

[evie]

I went for a walk with Mr evie tonight. We did our usual trek by the park, only we reversed it so we walked up hill on the way back.

[evie]

We went walking in the Royal National Park yesterday. Here are some pictures taken at Wattamolla. This is a place where some young men prove their manhood to their mates by jumping from the cliff to the depths below.
This ritual has been happening for years .

[Félix]

Neat place. I'm not a jumper.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Gorgeous, evie. Although your second link doesn't work.

[evie]

Below the cliffs ... survivors (Take 2)

I'm with you.

[Susan]

So beautiful. I would swim under the falls. Does that count for anything?

[Susan]

Go Barb!

[Félix]

Watch out for thin ice, Barb.

[Susan]

I thought the same thing! Skating on lakes is tricky business. Riding snowmobiles on them is even more so.

[evie]

Wow, that's cool,Barb.

From Wikipedia...

Ringette is a team sport played on an ice surface. Played primarily by females, Ringette requires the use of straight sticks to control a rubber ring; with the objective of the game being to score goals by shooting the ring into the opponent's net.

[Laurin]

From my car to class. It would be fantastic if the school properly salted everything.

[janine]

Skating on lakes is the best. Always check first if the ice is sufficiently thick for skating of course - and watch out for cracks in the ice surface, I fell three times in 21 km this years, just because there were so many cracks and they were so deep.

I skated here:

Not here, too many skaters, not enough ice.

[Susan]

I want to skate under that bridge. How cute!

[evie]

Thanks for the pics, Janine.

[Félix]

Skating through neighborhoods looks lovely.

It does, now if only I could stay upright.

[[deleted user]]

You don't see much of that around here.

[Félix]

Here, either.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

The Netherlands is so adorable.

[Susan]

::steadies Jim::

Skating appears to be pretty serious there.

[janine]

It's a bit serious. Everyone's running around with knives strapped to their feet after all, you could get seriously hurt.

[Félix]

I didn't think of it that way.

[Susan]

Me either! I was thinking serious as in everyone has proper skating attire and there are so many people getting out to skate.

Now I am picturing more of a roller derby atmosphere.

[janine]

Yes, also serious because people do have proper skating attire, tight pants and everything. We only get a few days of proper outdoor skating every year so when those days arrive every one of us who is remotely serious about skating is out there, causing traffic jams and whatnot, all to be able to skate. But even though there's that serious side there's also an atmosphere of comradery. You're all there because you love to skate and everyone is friendly and helps each other if necessary.

[Susan]

That was my first impression from the pictures. I would like to be apart of that kind of community of skaters.

[janine]

It is awesome.

[Scout]

In answer to the thread topic, I walk around the lake twice a day with my dog. Although that might not be considered walking somewhere, since we walk in a circle.

[evie]

I think that is walking somewhere, Scout.

Our walk tonight was up, then back again on part of the coastal walkway near our house. There was a cool breeze off the ocean tonight.

[evie]

Tonight, walking by the sea and under the Southern Cross was a little holiday .

[Cynthia]

That sounds so lovely. It's fricking cold here. Not an ocean wave in sight.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I walked to what I thought was going to be a mailbox, but they had removed the mailbox so I was forced to walk an additional 3 blocks to the next one. I don't think I cracked 1.5 miles.
