At The Park

Writing this blog on Thanksgiving Day, I am thankful for many things.  I feel very lucky to live in an area surrounded by parks, where I can take my dog and enjoy the day.  This is an older photo of Danny and I at a local park.  It is one of those rare photos, where I set up the camera and my husband was able to just push the button and get the shot relatively well. 

I like to snap photos in the park, no matter the weather, and walking is one of my best worlds.

Whether a winter walk in the snow, or a summer walk watching dogs lazily enjoying the grass, as the pup in the photo above, parks afford us the opportunity to get back in touch with nature.  We have approximately four parks close to my rural home.  Each of them have their own things to offer, from fishing off docks to kayaking in a pond, to simply enjoying a quiet walk with a dog.

I often cover events held at local parks, or sometimes even set up a booth at events to snap quick, mini session photos of dogs and their people.

If I travel a few hours, I can reach a horse park.  On a hot summer day, sitting under a tree with a cold drink, I can enjoy and snap some shots of dressage participants.

You never know just what you will find at our local parks and natural hot spots.

So I count parks among my blessings, along with the clients who have their own favorite park spots where they choose to have their pets photographed. 

And, I count stumbling upon the "here's something you don't see everyday folks" as a special joy in park hopping!

I would encourage each and every one of you to get out there and find the natural environments and parks near you.  No matter the weather, breathing fresh air and enjoying what mother nature has in store for us, is a grand thing!

I hope you've had a great Thanksgiving!

What a great post! Yes, if we stop and take a breath, we realize we all have many things to be thankful for. I love the little owl and would be right there sitting next to you watching dressage. I find it relaxing and mesmerizing.
