A Daily Walk With DietPower
Walking is the best exercise for weight loss. And the things you see!
The setting sun cast a glow on the King Street Church steeple as I passed this afternoon. I have a theory that its five-pointed spire, erected in 1846, was designed to resemble a king's crown. No documents back me up, however.
.
About this page: Every day, without fail, I step out of my office for a 3.5-mile walk around my Connecticut neighborhood. I carry a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TX5 pocket camera with a Leica 10x optical zoom lens. My object is to make an interesting photograph of at least one thing that is different that day. I post the results here, hoping they will inspire you and your friends to walk, too. —Terry Dunkle, DietPower founder and CEO.
