(Day 20) - Chillin' At the Park

Today we venture away from home to my favorite park to take photos. This is South Gate Park, which is only 10mins away.

I usually come here when I want a more natural setting. Plenty of grass, trees, or different kinds flowers...this place is filled with spots to explore. There's also a small rose garden. They're trimmed right now so maybe later I'll share a photo of that spot.

Anyhoo, many people like to come to this park and rest underneath the shade, very similar to my amphibian friend. :)

Hope you enjoy this week of my five most common places to take photos. :)
Look at all that green... great shot!!

I agree with Ruth, he really looks comfy and very sheepish 0 has he done something naughty?

Fred looks incredibly relaxed in this shot I want to know what thoughts are going through his head as he lies back and enjoys the shade.

Yes, I have enjoyed your pictures very much.. it's really interesting to be able to see where and how you set up your fabulous shots and you have made me think too - always a good thing. :) This park looks and sounds very nice, so lovely to see so much green - the grass here is very muddy (so much rain lately) and the trees are still pretty bare.

This has been a fun week- looking into the making of a Chris Johnson photo! AS they often say, "Location, location, location!" You've got some really nice ones! Fred looks quite Irish in that bed of clover. I guess he's ready to celebrate St. Patrick's Day a bit early. Fun collage!

Froggy looks perfectly content there in the greenery. I wonder if he's considering believin' that it's actually easy bein' green.

Thanks so much everyone for the fantastic response to this series. Loved your thought-provoking and funny comments. Having go-to locations helps to make things even more relaxing when you need a good photo.

@stray_shooter - No prob Ron. I'm so appreciative of my photographer friends and other 365ers who share tips & techniques so I'll always feel that sharing makes the community even better. Especially since we all have different interests & styles so nobody shoots completely the same. Plus seeing others improve or try new things (or learning from them) is awesome. The happiness in giving. :)

@dibzgreasley - Thanks! He's pretty mellow but he mighty be planning something sneaky in that froggy head. :P
