After sulking around for a while I decided to pick up my camera and let the sun tempt me out into the park. As it is only across the road getting wet, when one of the inevitable showers turned the blue sky grey, wasn’t such a bad thing, after all a hop skip and a jump away was home and dry clothes.
Not sure of what kind of photos to take I wandered down the main path and let an old playground lure me over. Lucky for me the rain had kept most kids away and I didn’t have to maneuver around screaming toddlers and running kids.
As I stood, camera in hand, I just saw all the colours and shapes and decided to see what I could capture by going up close. Not sure if my artistic attempts are any good but some shoots turned out alright. And even though a big shower did interrupt my wanderings and forced me to wait under a tree, I did enjoy my little, wet trip to the playground.
Maybe I didn’t play on a the climbing-frames, took a swing or a slide, but I did have fun experiment and playing around with my camera. As the oh so clever Plato put into words so well:
Life must be lived as play.
these photos are great. i particularly like ‘peek-a-boo’
me too, turned out so much better than I thought, yeah glad you like
It seems like a good day out!

Your photos are great! Love them all but especially the close up shots. You are getting pretty good with that camera. 🙂

thanks … just trial and error, don’t really have a clue of what I am doing
There you are a natural!

Great photos. I’m not a photographer but it seems to me that one gets the best photos on rainy and overcast days.
not sure … but it was fun and I am glad you enjoyed my attempts
WOW!!! These are beautiful! I love the close ups! I especially love the swing corner, the flower and the clouds.Well done!! You really have a gift!
thanks … all trial and error
Impressive – you have found a new calling!!

Lovely photos. I love it how you can make the ordinary seem meaningful. Jen is right, you do have a real talent.
