About Linda Schaub

This is my first blog and I enjoy writing each post immensely. I started a walking regimen in 2011 and in 2013 I decided to create a blog as a means of memorializing the people, places and things seen on my daily walks. I have always enjoyed people watching, so my blog is peppered with folks I meet or reflections of characters I have known through the years. Often something piques my interest, or evokes a pleasant memory from my memory bank, so this becomes a “slice o’ life” blog post. I respect and appreciate nature and my interactions with Mother Nature’s gifts is also a common theme. Sometimes the most-ordinary items become fodder for points to ponder over and touch upon. I retired in March 2024 after a career in the legal field. I was a legal secretary for almost 45 years, primarily working in downtown Detroit, then working from my home. I graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in Mass Communications (print journalism) in 1978, though I’ve never worked in that field. I would like to think this blog is the writer in me finally emerging!! Walking and writing have met, shaken hands and the creative juices are flowing in Walkin’, Writin’, Wit & Whimsy. I hope you think so too. - Linda Schaub

      Thanks Barbara! I was getting ready to cross that bridge and I saw them and thought it would be a fun shot for a Wordless Wednesday post. The matching overshirts worked perfectly!

      Thanks Peggy – it was something different from what I normally post on Wednesdays, but I was behind the couple, returning to my car and I saw what an interesting combo the plaids and shadow stripes combo was.

    I’ve never thought to describe a fence as “plaid” before but now I see it! Love the photo, Linda.

      Thanks Dave – admittedly, the couple kind of blended it with the busyness of the scene. I thought it would be a fun shot to take for Wordless Wednesday. What a great mixing-and-matching of stripes and plaids!

      I thought it would be a fun shot for Wordless Wednesday Janis … I originally thought of calling it “Mad About Plaid” but decided that stripes was a better fit. 🙂

    Not only are the shadows amazing, but so are all those colours too. Great capture, Linda.

    This is one of the most fascinating shots I’ve seen in ages! You even captured that couple’s checkered past. 🙂

      I thought it was fun and unusual too JP. I started to call it “Mad About Plaid” but decided on “Plaids and Stripes” instead. There you go one-upping me on the quip … really, I need to send you my Wordless Wednesday pic(s) in advance). 🙂 I have a funny post for this Wednesday. I hope the younger set find it funny – it is some humor that reaches back in the past, even before I was born.
