Susanne 365 and Beyond: Day at the Park

Day at the Park

The weather here has been unusually mild; the average July/August temperature hangs around 105, but the past two weeks has seen highs in the low-to-mid-80s. So later this afternoon I took J and T over to the park for an hour of outdoor play.

J skateboarded around the basketball court while T practiced freethrows and rebounds.

After tiring himself out on the court, T discovered some frogs that were taking refuge in a gopher hole. Being the budding zoologist, he had to examine them thoroughly (and play with them a bit) before returning them to their natural habitat.

About Project 365

Project 365 started in January of 2007 with about fifteen online friends from the United States and beyond who resolved to post "A Photo A Day." The goal was to learn about photography through daily practice and looking at and commenting upon each others' work.

Several devoted photographers kept going in January of 2008 while most of us resorted to less-rigorous schedules of posting our photographs. But in January of 2009, about ten (perhaps more!) of us were back in the saddle, ready to shoot, post, and learn. Most of their blog sites are listed further down the sidebar if you'd like to view their work.

I took another break for 2010 but am back for 365 for 2011 with a new Facebook group of friends, many of whom you'll find in the sidebar.

I am using a simple point-and-shoot camera, an Olympus Stylus 740. Many of my fellow photographers are using far better cameras, so the quality of my photographs will in no way equal theirs. However, I still hope to "learn to see" better this year as I jump back into Project 365.
