The Family. by happypat

The Family.

Ivy Bridge in Avenham Park Preston.

This bridge has had new beautifully wrought iron gates fitted since I last was in this park & I also never knew it had a proper name.

Three good things:
1. Family of course!
2. Clarnico mints...I have a passion for them at the moment!
3. The ability to look back through my 365 diary to remind me of what I was doing on each day of the previous week because I am rubbish at remembering otherwise!!!
This is a lovely shot, Pat...I especially like the people under the bridge (with the wee one) and the fact that you left in those stairs on the left. Adds to the sense of adventure. Love your three things today. Nice to know 365 is now also a memory aid...I have to admit to doing that, too!

@wardie Thank you Paul. Did think about cropping them nearer but the surrounds are so pretty so I left it.

@happypat No, perfect as is pat

I love the contrasting lines...the stairs, path, bridge, gate, bridge railing. And the stonework is gorgeous

Lovely shot Pat. People always make this sort of shot better though :)

Love this! That little one is so cute! I like to go back too - it is handy as a diary. Chucking it down here and a pile of ironing to do....I don't think I'll remind myself of that!

What a glorious day up there!! Gorgeous photo Pat, love everything about it, the lovely light, the trees the people and the path leading the eye through.......fabulous

The light and composition are wonderful pat, the family are the perfect touch especially the tiny one, and the PO box and lamp make it a wonderfully interesting capture.

Love this beautiful scene. Such a gorgeous park and bridge. And the family silhouette adds a perfect touch! I agree with you, Pat...365 makes a marvelous photo journal for remembering our days.

Love the light here. I know what you mean about remembering!

Lovely English scene - these bridges last forever! Your family arrived at the right time!

@maggiemae My eyes lit up when I saw them silhouetted, I couldn't get my camera out quick enough!!

Beautifully composed!

Pat i like how you've composed this. In fact I think you may have waited for the people to get under the bridge before you clicked, therefore turning them into silhouettes against the light and therefore proving that you've now got a great eye for a photo and are a in fact an accomplished photographer rather than just somebody who c'licks away'.

I hope my comment came across OK and not condescending ..It was meant as a great compliment to how your photography has grown since you started 365 :)

Beautiful shot. It looks like it was a great day for a walk in the park.
October 22nd, 2012  
really love this one Pat - great timing for the silhouette - and a fabulous composition

@phil_howcroft Thank you for your in depth comments recently Phil...I do appreciate all your tips & input! As for waiting no I just saw them just in the right spot , grabbed my camera & just caught them before they went through....lucky hey!
