To the park

Took my son to a park in the neighborhood today. This particular park has a large pond or small lake depending on if you are a glass half full or half empty kinda person right smack dab in the middle of it. This leads to there being a lot of ducks and geese that have decided to call this home. Now if you can stomach walking over grass that is sometimes more poop than grass it can be a lot of fun.

Generally the geese in the park are there are the Canadian Geese but today we saw one that was different and being a newcomer he didn't fully understand our right to join him in the park. After hissing at my son he was dubbed the "Angry Goose" and we went our way to find a more receptive crowd.

A bit of a disappointment

Today was a bit of a disappointment. My husband and I decided to go and try to find a new place to take pictures. No dice, where we went turned out to be a big dud. So in true explorer fashion we began following along the road and we ended up getting lost. Out came the Iphone and we figured out where we were, a few minutes later we ended up coming out by in one of my newer favorite places so we just be-bopped in there instead. Only one problem.. not exactly the best time for taking pictures there. Mid afternoon with the sun directly overhead all the birds were hiding, harsh lighting and wind blowing the water from the smooth sheet of glass for great reflection shots to a choppy mess that reflected too much light in too choppy a way to make for a pretty picture. Foiled again!

Having said that I did manage to sneak off a decent photo or two but was sadly disappointed in the majority. Days like today I'm glad I shoot digital.. at least it won't cost me anything to discard them.
