Any Excursion Can Become a Photo Op

We tried to sneak out for our walk before the rain hit. As we neared the trail, the sky opened, so we diverted to Tims and took our coffees to Riverside Park to consume in the car. In the event, it became a photoshoot — of course it did.

It began with selfies.

I shot through the droplets on the windshield. It was worth a try but looked better on the phone than it does here.

The rain was falling on my side of the car, but Sue rolled her window down, and she was the one with the park view.

When she lowered her camera, I took a shot. Whenever I can get a bench in the frame, I am interested. Of course, the trees help a whole lot.

A guy walked by with unusual headcover. Hey, when it's raining buckets so . . .

When there was a lull in the storm, Sue headed out to take a pic suitable for her POTD.

I was able to find two little scenes that interested me before it was time to retreat back to the car. In both cases, I liked the framing around the subject.

It turns out that just about any excursion can be turned into a photo op, particularly when you have conditions in which you wouldn't usually be out. I saw the park in somewhat unusual conditions for me at this time of year, and I liked the look.
