At this time of year, I usually take a walk through the neighborhood, usually in the evening after work, and sometimes at the weekend. Last weekend I chose a different route, where a bridge crosses one of the local “ditches”. Close by, there are several large sumac bushes that we covered with bright red berries.<\/p>\n\n\n

Crossing the bridge, there is a collection of love locks attached to the bridge. That red lock just grabbed my attention, so I made this image of a cluster of three locks.<\/p>\n\n\n

The route continued through the hospital and then to Harvard Gulch Park. Sometimes, I head down to the stream that flows though the gulch. Here that are some interesting rocks that have pink and gray coloring.<\/p>\n\n\n

The edges of the gulch are covered with long grasses that reach down to the water’s edge. During the winter, these grasses, turn pale yellow and make a great monochromatic image.<\/p>\n\n\n

The park is separated from a golf course by this long fence. Looking up the fence, there was a hint of blue sky behind mostly overcast skies. Another candidate for a black and white image.<\/p>\n\n\n

Reaching the top of the fence, I decided to shoot another image as the fence curved to the right.<\/p>\n\n\n

From here, I headed across the park. Close the the far edge, was a huge patch of snow and ice, that had been melting during the course for the day, forming a pool of water and ice. Gaps in the ice, where water had melted, allowed nearby trees to be reflected in the pool.<\/p>\n\n\n

Sometimes I take a detour through one of the alleys. In one of these alleys is this colorful scarecrow.<\/p>\n\n\n

It was close the sunset, so that was the last image of the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
