Fort Taber

Fort Taber New Bedford

I still haven't got out for any photo walks yet, so sharing a few shots of a walk Lulu and I did around Fort Taber last year, and we had planned to go for a walk thee today, we have a couple of appointments but hopefully this afternoon we may be able to visit there, I have prepared for the chance we get out for a walk and have my camera batteries on charge sitting idle for a few months they were pretty flat.

Starting with a shot of a rock wall there and some nice sunset colors

And next up the fort itself and showing one of the walkways in the area, its a good spot for our first walk as with having had a broken and now a replacement hip Lulu is a bit worried about walking the trails we had visited last year as the paths in the trails can be slippery in places and she did slipa couple of times, so I do understand that but am more than happy to go on walks in places like Fort Taber where there are nice smooth walkways which will be easier for her

Fort Taber District or the Fort at Clark's Point is a historic American Civil War-era military fort on Wharf Road within the former Fort Rodman Military Reservation in New Bedford, Massachusetts. The fort is now part of Fort Taber Park, a 47-acre town park located at Clark's Point. Fort Taber was an earthwork built nearby with city resources and garrisoned 1861-1863 until Fort Rodman was ready for service.
It is at the end of a point with lots of views over the water so a greta place to walk and get some fresh air

We did visit there a couple of times and these shots are from both visits so hence the different skies in the shots

Another one of the pathways, the evening we took these shots the place was fairly deserted as you can see

Wow, this looks like a really beautiful area. I love all of these little (and big) forts along the coast of the Atlantic states. I know I have visited a few of them down south. I am not sure if we went to any of the northern ones when we were travelling. Very cool stuff!

Now I know what I have really missed ... your sunsets at the sea are amazing and I love all photos 👍
This area looks great, JJ, I'd love to accompany you there, but since it's not possible, your photos have to be enough for me 🙂

I hope your appointments go fast and positive that nothing can stop you two from going for a walk, have a great day my friend 😊🌞

Very sturdy looking fort, the evening sky captures more for the imagination, powerful streaked wind blown tapestries above.

Walking on flat ground will certainly assist Lulu becoming more mobile, my sister-in-law took awhile now managing a lot easier than shortly after her hip op.

Have a wonderful day once done with appointments, yes it's time to get some photography again!

Your photos are beautiful @tattoodjay. I am doubly impressed with Lulu's mobility after a broken hip. Enjoy your walk when you get out.

Yes she is doing so well with her hip still cautious naturally,
and her hands have improved so much still a long way to go but she is getting there

Magnificent photos JJ and please tell Lulu that she is not alone with having to walk on smooth paths, as lately my knee is packing up and it is bone to bone. The cartilege is gone and I cannot tell you how sore it is when the two bones meet on a walk.

The great news is that she can walk with the new hip and the future looks great.

Blessings.

Needles are on ground everywhere. It’s pretty crazy how fast it’s gotten bad But I think it’s being overblown how many people are leaving. That said I moved 45 min north.
