I'm combining a few photo projects into a little pictorial story of an afternoon at a park near me.
links are at the bottom of the post
How efficient I am! Ambidextrous even.
The sun created some lovely lines down the steps and walkway ...
Summer brings lots of tourists to this park. There is a wonderful Inn just down the road. Everyone comes to take photos of the river and the boats ...
My favorite spot is here - where the green turns to blue and the trees hug the lamp post ...
On my way out of the park I stopped at the flower beds. I hope you can see Mr. B ...
I love his big eye
The Three Trees provided shade on my way back to my car ...
This weekend starts off the second summer of Robin's SUMMER STOCK SUNDAY
Misty is into the second year of hosting CAMERA CRITTERS
I don't know how long the fabulous Hey Harriet has hosted SHADOW SHOTS I just know I'm glad she does
And last but not least I just met Tablescraper through the ELEGANT ELLEN B and discovered that she hosts SUMMER SUNDAYS
I hope you'll take some time to check them out
Have a wonderful weekend

What a beautiful series of shadow shots, Dianne! Love the one where the green turns to blue and the great post lights! Terrific! Hope you have a great weekend! Enjoy! And give Hope a hug for me!

love the bold sharp lines of that first shot...
They stroll through shadows,
hoping that light is ahead,
around the next bend.

A lovely series of photos and commentary! My favourite is the alst one with the trees.
The railing above the steps leave a quizzical look for the viewer: does the railing take our eyes up the steps or avert our eyes down the steps instead?
The other pictures leave no questions but an observation that the Raritan River estuary area is a place to enjoy ourselves by merely relaxing or chasing shadows instead...
This is such a great series, Dianne. Beautiful shots - every one of them.
What a lovely place to spend a warm summer afternoon. Love the shadows in that first shot too.
Summer Stock 2010 goes live in just about 20 minutes :).

Wonderful series of photos, Love the shadows and the bee on the pretty flowers.
What a pretty park. I can see why lots of people would want to come here! I love your picture of the trees hugging the lamp post with peek of the water and sailboat. That is a great shot! Mr. B in the purple flowers and the pretty shadows is lovely. Love the shadows in the first and second shots too.
All great shots, shadowy or not!! Happy SSS & have a good weekend.

I love all the shadowed, dappled-sun shots, Dianne. And the one of the bee coming in for a landing!
What gorgeous shadows and colours. Looks like the perfect summer refuge!
all such lovely captures!!
Inviting pictures for a walk ! I am just back from Morocco and a little upside down, lol !
As always, absolutely wonderful!
Beautiful series -- thanks for sharing your walk. I am studying your photos of angles to try to see how you do it! They are always so elegant.
I see the busy bee on both beautiful flower fotos.
excellent angle on the railing and steps.
This looks like a wonderful place to spend a hot Summer Day enjoying the sun and fresh breeze. The bee is quite easy to spot in both the flower pics. Lovely capture.
I never notice shadows until I see them in someones photos. The way you shoot them makes me notice they are art.
Lovely shadows Dianne! & I like Mr. B's big eye too. He looks like a real character
Yikes, al these summer-y days! I love your river walk! Happy Summer Stock Sunday! :)
A really lovely series of shots! Thanks for sharing.
Love all these and the way you neatly tied it all together ...
Great summer shots with wonderful shadows!
Dropping in from Summer Sundays (once Blogger started up again! Outages are a pain.)
