West Columbia Riverwalk

My busy season began with a vengeance in August. Customers are stocking up on jewelry making supplies for the upcoming fall and holiday season. Keeping up with the blogoshere is a challenge but with such a backlog of photos for my online journal, I am going to try to keep up!

Occasionally we stroll the West Columbia, South Carolina riverwalk (part of the Three Rivers Greenway).

While it is not completely shaded, it has enough shade to keep walkers comfortable from the sun.

It is either paved or with boardwalk sections so one does not need to worry about mud.

A winding path cuts the hill from one of the parking lots to the river.

The river is rapid in parts creating soothing audio.

This is a popular place for walkers, runners and dog owners.

The erosion is ever increasing along the riverbanks. Stone is added to help prevent it but we have noticed it becoming worse over the last few years. While the trees look cool, as though they could start walking at any moment, it is not a good thing!

There is an outdoor amphitheater along the walk for concerts and other events.

Fun sculptures decorate the top of the seating.

My favorite distraction on this walk are the beautiful homes along it.

The variety is fantastic!

I would not enjoy strangers walking by my home all the time but on the other hand these homeowners can partake in people watching all day from their porches and decks!

I do love that no two are alike.

Have a marvelous day/evening (wherever you are on the clock)! ~Val
