Open Space Photo Walk #1

It is supposed to rain for the next few days, but today is beautiful. We went for a morning photo walk in one of our open space parks. I’m going to post photos from this walk for a couple of weeks. Tagged for 52 Week Challenge because it is “new” grass and a new season for our open space trails.

A wonderful area for a walk amongst these big and old trees - The sunlight realy brings the place alive with spring round the corner !

[Mallory]

Beautiful!

[Shook Chung]

I love to walk before and after rains in open spaces - I like the smells. I did not make it to the natures today, but I got a picture similar to yours - in a different context. :-)

[Peter Dulis]

Love these kind of trees

[Corinne]

Love the tortuous branches of these trees, very photogenic!

What a beautiful place to walk. The grass looks so colourful in the sunlight and I love the curvy tree branches, fav.

Looks a great place to walk.

So inviting, a great place to walk with your camera.

This is lovely, would like some sun too ...

I like the composition with two opposite diagonals (the row of trees and the piece of trunk in the foreground) that meet on one of the thirds of the image. I also like the fallen tree and the fallen branches that trigger the interest of the mind to the green grass, because this is not the place where you would spontaneously expect to find a trunk and some branches.

Very pretty shot.

@beryl @sunnygirl @shookchung @pdulis @cocobella @pattyblue @jgpittenger @radiogirl @lynnz @katford @sdutoit @ludwigsdiana @monikozi @elatedpixie @gardenfolk @sherimiya @aikiuser @casablanca @wakelys @happysnaps @momamo @etienne @mittens Thank you. By July these open spaces are so dry and the grass so tall, they send goats in to trim the grass. They must also do a great job of fertilizing because we get just a bit of rain and it turns this vibrant green and is so inviting to walk through.

@etienne Thanks for the details Etienne. You encouraged me to look back at my own photo more closely.
