Miscellaneous Walks and Photos

Sue required a sunset photo, so off we went to Riverside Park. The trouble is that you can't order a sunset on demand, but you do what you can.

I did take my camera, but there wasn't much going on and I couldn't find a composition that I wanted to shoot. I walked about and sat about and contemplated views, but there wasn't anything happening.

We meandered to the east end of the park by the boat launch where I photographed the tree that you have seen more than once recently. It will sorta do in a pinch.

However, as Sue was walking through the park, she did capture a canoeist along with a sun flare: some like flares and some don't.

On another walk along another boardwalk and another swamp, one that we don't get to very often, we came across a couple looking at a painted turtle. It was much smaller that the recent snappers but also prettier.

Then, on another walk in the park on a very nice day, we sat on a bench, and Sue was able to zoom in on a redwing blackbird. Cool.

From the same sunny bench, we saw a canoe paddle along the far bank. As you can see, the light was rather pleasant.
