Walks with Charlotte during Covid
Memorial Day Weekend, 2020 to ?

By Memorial Day Weekend of 2020, I had walked up to 4 miles at a time and felt
that I didn't have any destinations to which to bike, journeys would be more
enjoyable if I moved slower and took time to enjoy the places through which
I travelled. Bicycling was simply too fast, but walking was lonely, so I
instantly thought of my friend Charlotte Fleetwood, who I have encountered
from my bike while she was walking between Roslindale and Boston's City Hall,
where she works. I asked her if she wanted to share a trial long walk, and
despite some uncertainty about how our comfortable walking speeds would differ,
she agreed to give it a try. Her knowledge of streets and mine of natural
areas combined to make our travels more interesting, and since May of 2020,
we have taken walks over 5 miles almost every weekend. I've taken lots of
pictures of what we've encountered, and Charlotte has taken quite a few
of her own. In this collection, I've only included the pictures she took of
me to compement those that I took of her.

Here are photos of our walks, labelled with the destinations. All of these walks
and occasional bike rides started from our homes, so most of the pictures
were taken on the journeys. They are ordered from the most recent backward in time.
