I Love My Local Park

By Michele Wambaugh

5 Feb 2013

It really amazes me that even after years of almost daily explorations of my favorite gardens, water features and pathways, I can always find something new in my local park. It may be a different type of waterbird, the clouds, a Quinceañera party or slightly different lighting but something is always waiting for my lens. I think this is what photography forces us to do; we receive a constantly new view of the world. How wonderful!

Guess where you will find me tomorrow?

This reminds me of a three-year photographic diary I kept of a lake nearby my house. Everyday, the place changed and offered up new things to see. Voted

Very beautiful story and pictures. Next time I'd like me to tell about "The Gardens of Mortella" that are in the island of Ischia, near Capri, Positano, Amalfi in the Gulf of Naples, Italy. I'll wait.
