An evening walk Part 1 (of 5)

Where do I go to start a photowalk, or just feel good about everything? Alice Keck Park, Park! I live two blocks from here, and I love it. This park is beautiful and always contains loads of subject matter. First some flowers! I love flowers, and I had never seen these little blooms before. Daisy's with a purple yellow color gradation?! Beautiful! Around the corner, a very dramatic spider web, captured with a lot of shadow and the most minimal amount of highlight. Across the path from the web were beautiful pink blooms in the sky! Protected by a tree who through evolution, has found a way to prevent kids from climbing along its branches. At the south west corner of the park was a beautiful scene of shape and motion, the natural plant peach fuzz heightened the backlight glow, and provided my personal favorite image of the walk.

An evening walk Part 3

Who knew there was a Don Quixote (DQ) statue in SB?! Maybe I noticed it stumbling home one night, but I couldn't recall clearly that I had previous knowledge of DQ in SB. It's in the parking lot of Sotheby's Reality. I love the story of DQ, and I love statues. I spent a few minutes photographing the chap, he stayed nice and still for me.
