...or, how I have been spending my time, not getting any quilting done.
On January 1 of this year, I started a series of photographs. My plan is to spend the entire year going back to this one small area of the Appomattox River and recording the changes.
I had never been to this park area before. I went that day looking for a specific shot, and got the idea.
It is not a 'nice' park. It's wild, it's not in the best of neighborhoods, it's right down the street from a college campus. I go to Patton Park on my own, but the Trail side I only go to with my husband as is it desolate. (it turns out I got to this just in time. This side was formally dedicated as a park just a few weeks back. Until that time, you can see how it went from VERY wild to much more groomed...)
I decided to split the location, a walk of no more than 10 minutes in either direction from the parking lot.
Each of these links have LOTS of photos. Like, HUNDREDS.
The photos start in Patton Park, on January 1, and go thru this week.

I started going over to the Trail side a few weeks later.

I am very excited to see the amazing changes, and can not wait to see the blazing autumn here! And maybe even snow, as all the snow we had this winter was before January 1.
If you enjoy, I would love to hear from you. If you want to follow, subscribe to my blog, LIKE individual photos on Facebook or LIKE my Facebook page

I hope at the beginning of next year, to be able to whittle these photos down to a representative collection and have a photo show....
Thanks for looking!
