<04/26/2023] 04/27/2023 - May & Grant [04/30/2023>

The old house on my right as I drive along Grant recessed into the background has always caught my eye, so this days adventures took off one place on that "list" in my head. Turned out to be a block of older properties together, seemed like it at least. With one image courtesy of an unknown individual and odd sense of humor maybe.

Found by walking the blocks edges I saw these nailed to the pole. So many questions come to mind but photograph what comes your way first.

<04/27/2023] 04/30/2023 - Sherwood Park [05/02/2023>

The bright lights of Ruben Pier Memorial Skate Park caught my eye as a night location to explore but it was the Sherwood Park Aquatic Center that worked out the best. The skate park at 9:30pm was still busy along with games in the surrounding fields so had a different feel to me. The aquatic center wasn't opened yet so the pool with no water and the light available appealed to me more.

<04/30/2023] 05/02/2023 - Mable & Lincoln [05/03/2023>

A state of decay that caught my eye.

Well lived in framed by natural elements.

<05/03/2023] 05/04/2023 - Back to nature [05/05/2023>

With a recent rain I thought I might find some pools of water but didn't; however, with rain the pocket forest I walked through was thick with vegetation and green. A pleasant walk over all and on the photography side of the venture I learned some new post processing tricks. Images presented as is.

<05/05/2023] 05/06/2023 - Town & Country shopping center [05/10/2023>

From a photography point of view a change in light creates a place never captured but switch from natural to completely artificial light and things change even more. This is the transformation of a city into places you have to find but provide an unique image. Images presented as is.

<05/06/2023] 05/10/2023 - Along 54th off Hwy 385 [05/11/2023>

Where to go is almost always the question so todays session is from driving around but found an interesting street to explore. The park allowed me park the car and walk a few blocks down. Amazing how a car becomes the biggest bit of kit to deal with.

The only piece play ground equipment in the park, lots of shade trees though.

Things that caught my eye along 54th. 1 of 3.

<05/10/2023] 05/11/2023 - Revisiting along Lee [05/12/2023>

A clear sky is fine but clouds help in composing some images so I still have some images to take later; however, I had a chance to talk to Quito Man and get a better angle of an unique work in progress. The outdoor sitting area has character and it was nice to say hello to its creator.

<05/11/2023] 05/12/2023 - Memorial Garden Park [05/13/2023>

For this photography session I was aiming for macro shots only but discovered some hidden images of the park. Obscure point of views around a bridge and documenting sitting pattern on the benches was what I captured.
