Shooting Sue — Twice, to Make Sure

Spring green is a good green, especially when the trees are leafing out but not fully there. There's something about the feathery look. 

Under the circumstances, Sue decided that it would be a good time for her spring shoot for her photo group. They hadn't called for it yet, but the timing was good.

We needed to find the same spot as the winter photo of the seasonal stream. This is not new to you.

We found the spot, but so did another couple.


We decided to return around the same time on the next day, Saturday. Sue chose that time, around mid afternoon, to get the shadows of the branches again, but we had to sit on that bench for awhile and wait for the sun to come out from behind the clouds.

The obligatory selfie was snapped in the interim.


The sun did come out, so I shot Sue again. 


She deserved it.

And so did I.

  1. A fun idea. One thing I noticed is the difference in how the shadows lean, even though it is the same time of day. Differences in sun position. I recall your comment about marking the season by when the sun starts to hit your computer screen. Here it is where the sun is in relation to my favourite seat on the screened porch.

  5. Weather has improved here too. Just was out reading the Sunday paper on the deck.

    Sue nailed both shots. Or should I say, you did?

  8. I thought this was an especially nice selfie!!!! I also really enjoy the one where you are sitting on the park bench. I like the “observed, observer” perspective of it!!!!
