Yesterday Clara and I took the dog for a walk at a local park, let the pup play (or lay...she's a lazy girl) at the dog park there. These are the steps leading up to the park. I always love them. I've tried to get shots of them. This time I asked Clara to stand still at the end and she let me get a few shots. Often they are moving and the shots are a blur.
I like the mood this captured, though. Loved the dappled light through the trees, the lines of the stairs and rails, and the sweet, unsure child about to venture out. Also, though the greens were lovely, I think it distracted from the mood I was looking for.
Thanks for all your kind words and faves on our great big pile of fun family portrait yesterday.
Also, join Mad Hatters this week @madhatters with your classical and opera music shots... tag them: madhatters-classical to play along.
Thanks, guys. Feeling a little off kilter today. The image looked a bit crooked and I attempted straightening it, but then I haven't had my Wheaties yet:). So appreciate your kind comments!
@bill_fe Never mind. You don't get me;-). No, that you liked this one, too. I thought it was amazing...in my mind anyway. Not so much from my 365 friends. I'm hemmoraging followers these days. I don't think I am stinking? Sniffs self. Am I?
@amandal Well now I understand what you meant. I like this one a lot. I don't know about hemorrhaging followers. You have so many. I currently have 117 following me. I did a quick look, the only one I notice missing is ms hope. It's been a while since she's commented on my photos, so she may have been gone for a while now.
You are not stinking. Maybe because you've done fewer selfies? It seems they get a lot of hits, but then so did your civil war series.
I thinks I got a couple good shots before work this morning. I got my pants wet up to my knees in dew in a prairie.
Will be posting in a few hours, still at work now. Let me know how you like my main album post from yesterday 'mischievous' ;-) I think you'll appreciate the tags too.
@bill_fe Looking forward to seeing them. I was shooting fall today, though it is still summer. So feels like fall. I've lost 20 or so in recent while. I've been losing people daily. Maybe that happens when you don't follow back often, don't often thank, and don't comment regularly. Oh well. Hope it's not because my work sucks:).
Just saw this in the b&w thread and am glad you posted. I like the mood a lot. The lighting is wonderful and it looks so tranquil. The steps are terrific to lead into the image (and it looks like quite a climb from your POV).
