Park Pics





















 Here are some photos I took with my Canon EOS Rebel SL1 100D, last Wednesday, July 3rd. IN COLOR!

These were taken in Eagan's Central Park. The traveling carnival had pulled into town for the 4th of July weekend, and the rides, booths and other structures had been assembled the night before, but things weren't yet where they were going to be stationed when open to the public. I got some nice shots of a heron lazily strutting through a pond and some other birds. 

I like photography, it gives me a reason to look at things from multiple perspectives and reference points. I think my favorites are probably the pictures of the FUN SLIDE, the koi pond - because the surface looks like polished marble, with the sun shining on the bubbled black-green surface, and the one with the robin with its back to me.

A View To A Sill

 


Wowee zowee, it looks like nearly a year has gone by without me posting anything on this blog. That's of little consequence, I guess. It's not really for anyone but myself. And truthfully most blogs have long been abandoned for social media accounts. I for one am no longer in possession of any. It became a life quality issue.

I've been dealing with some significant medical issues recently. I won't go into detail; but it has given me motivation to find a distraction, and maybe getting back into the habit of blogging is what I need to help clear and/or distract the mind. 

Even all of this seems a bit too melodramatic and revealing for my comfort. I'm hoping that this doesn't become another "Plan on posting again soon!" post, only to remain the only new post here until I check in again in a year. 

Here's to the future, as dubious as it seems with all the things everywhere being what they are right now.
