When my kids were little we would go here to swim, at the time it was nothing more than a gravel pit that had filled with water, enough to get wet and swim a little. Some of it was very deep and there were several accidental drownings over the years. Now it is a sanctuary for wildlife and people such as myself looking for a piece of nature in town. This park is only a few blocks from my mother's home. I had no idea that it had been so renovated and changed. If you can't tell I am very excited.
Photos of random items. Some reflecting a mood I am in, others for the shear joy of it. Challenge and persistence in finding that perfect shot, without manipulating the situation is key for me. No lessons here, I don't have the knowledge to teach.
