Look Up

One never knows when an image might catch the eye in an unexpected place. Or angle, in this case. I liked the arrow that showed the exit from Northside Park in a parking lot. Once I had the pic in my laptop, all I needed to do was flip it up. Between the crack in the asphalt and the shapes of previous paintings, the details make this an image I will definitely use some day. A poster background, perhaps!

Northside

Two more images from Northside Park, including limestone in a large bundle awaiting installation onto a lagoon as part of a restoration program. The other image features a strong tree as seen reflected in a quiet portion of the lagoon.

SUNDAY POSTER

On the Road

At this time of year, most of the pictures I take cannot appear in this blog as they will have been taken for various high school yearbooks. This fall, a few of the assignments yielded a half-hour or an hour of available time for a stop along the way for some more personal shots.

A visit to Northside Park in Wheaton generated an interesting spider web on a bridge along with a building with character.

Final Jump & Closing

After one final jump we complete our visit to Dunham Woods Horse Show with that gratuitous "The End" shot as one of the younger participants walks his partner back toward the stable area.

Back to the Jumps

The highlight of the horse show is still the jumps, and the contestants were back at work after the hounds left. Here are two more leaps in action.

Hounds and the Mad Hatter

While no fox hunt was scheduled on the day of the Dunham Woods Horse Show, a highlight of the afternoon was a short demonstration of the pack of hounds that will lead the fall series of hunts. The other image is another look at the tailgate party, where an entire table was set for a girl named Alice and her acquaintance from Wonderland.
