A Daily Walk With DietPower
Walking is the best exercise for weight loss. And the things you see!
At a curb on King Street today I found a vine half hidden in the weeds, bearing these Easter-egg-colored fruits. Its leaves say they are grapes—but if so, why the spots?

About this page: Every day, usually at noon, 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.
