The Exploration of Franklin on April 2nd

On April 1st, I walked from my house in downtown Franklin, to the Goodwill on Hillsboro Rd and Del Rio. On my way there, I saw a walking path I had not known about. Since I wasn't working the following day, I decided to follow it in the morning.


I saw this sign while I was walking down the street to the start of the walk path I had found. Immediately made me think of Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice.'


Front view of the house.



Here's the sign at the start of the walking path.



The first length of the path follows a nice little river.



Took a couple shots close to the ground like this one.



Part of the path I followed went alongside a small developed area/community.



At the end of the developed community...



Bridge/road just past a public park/ballfield area alongside Hillsboro Rd.



I had just enough time for one shot of this bird before it flew away.




Another low-to-the-ground shot.



The last shot I took before going home. I think this is near the same spot as the first one...

So those are the highlights of my walk. I don't know how far I actually walked, but I was out for at least 2 1/2 hours, so I've estimated that I walked a good 7 or 8 miles that morning. More than what I was expecting, but I had a good time regardless.

  1. You got some great shots! And what a beautiful walk you had.

    I would LOVE to live in a house like the Bennett house.
