The subtle “S” curve silently guides our gaze from the foreground to the back where you can see a pedestrian walking over the bridge. .

What am I pointing to? The weekend of course—we’re halfway there now! . Self portraits are always a challenge for me. What do I do? How do I pose? Did the camera take the picture? So many unknowns. I seem to default to a pointing pose for many of my self portraits. . How do you pose? . Swipe left for the landscape version! .

Have you ever heard baby beavers cry for their parents? It’s an interesting sound that stopped me in my tracks as I tried to capture the parents swimming along the shoreline. . Swipe left with the volume up to hear the babies crying for food and/or their parents! .

With the parking lots closed at all of our parks, I look back at my photos from previous years and wonder if the swans and birds are still there now. They are probably wondering where we all went. . Taken in April of 2017, this couple chose this spot to make their nest to grow their family during the Spring season. The lookout area of this park gave the perfect vantage point to see their growing family. .
