#Photowalk Challenge June/July: What’s bugging you today?

Today’s walk felt super sweet after a hard run. Tempo pace which the guided run described as “kind of annoying”. It bugged me for the full twenty five minutes so it was a relief to stop and spot this lovely little bug on my cool down walk. Very apt!

I was running in an unfamiliar place and the type of run didn’t leave any headspace for enjoying the surroundings. Stopping and walking was such a nice contrast-time to take in the scenery. Walking is such a great exercise! Thank you Active10 for being such a great space to celebrate it! 🚶‍♀️🚶🚶‍♂️

What a great photo MissU! I’ve just had fun googling to see if I could identify the critter - if anyone wants to know..😊

I love this! Thanks so much-that’s exactly the beetle. I’d never seen one like him before and know I know what he is. Hopefully I’ll spot some more now!

I’m glad you posted it.. I don’t recall seeing one like it before either. The info I read says it’s common in the UK, found on hawthorn and umbellifers, and most common in Leicestershire and Rutland, but not further north.. so maybe not here in North Yorkshire

Just fabulous... that little fellow is very sassy indeed and how beautifully he posed for you!

A super bug to ease you back to calm after your run that bugged you was done! I am loving the walking here too... :) x

He was a smart little chap. Very keen to show off his colours!

It was a really nice walk. Just long enough to cool down and enjoy being outdoors. Lots of pretty things to spot that I’d totally missed on the run before!

Thank you! He was having such a nice time in the sunshine that I think he didn’t really notice me!

Such a great photo Miss Understanding...the colours!

He is quite a scary looking fellow, glad to hear you enjoyed your cool down walk, And ...well done on your run!

I would ignore what the guided run had to say, you did it and you were brilliant. 'Nuff said...😊👍xxx

Thank you so much! Sorry, your reply got lost and I’ve just spotted it!

The great thing about tough runs is they make the chilled ones feel extra sweet…last night’s gentle pootle was heavenly! It probably helped that I was actually cool for the first time in ages too. Hooray for late evenings!

Thanks again for the lovely post ❤️❤️❤️
