A Daily Walk With DietPower

Walking is the best exercise for weight loss. And the things you see!

Brook

This little, nameless brook rushes over a waterfall along South King Street near the church. Its pleasant shooshing sound merges with road noise whenever a car passes. Suds and bubbles may indicate that it is picking up detergents from septic systems along its banks. The water smells clean, but has a tea tint (visible at right) that argues for impurities, or perhaps a heavy concentration of tannins from the carpet of oak leaves in the woods.

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.
