Boy Mondays sure seem to come around fast. On Sunday afternoons Jeanne and I like to go on a photo drive. I usually don’t have a particular subject in mind just travel in a direction and hope that something moves me.
The exception to that has been when we go down to the River Walk. There always seems to be something going on of interest and lots of things to shoot. If all else fails there are always an abundance of gulls, and ducks to keep me happy.
I suggested that we go to the river and Jeanne thought that was a good idea but thought it would be fun to check out the pond just off Carter Road. The pond was like a mirror this evening and with the “golden” sunlight shinning on the pond and the trees it made for a great shot. The geese were just an added bonus.
So before heading to the river I suggested that we go to Julian Dubuque’s monument. I hadn’t been there this Summer and thought the light shining on it might make a nice shot.
Of course before we could leave the pond I noticed these cherries blowing in the breeze. I liked the red, green, and blue colors. We then drove over to the monument and looked around. By the way it was just a perfect evening weather wise.
I found some neat things to shoot while at the monument and got some shots that I’ll share with you later in the week. But I didn’t want to spend too much time at the monument because the sun was rapidly sinking I wanted to get to the river before Mr. Sun turned in for the evening.
This is just one shot from the Julian Monument. Certainly nothing spectacular but I enjoy shooting flowers. I did get a couple of cool shots (I think) but will have to wait until I have time to process them.
The Twilight was once again docked at the River Walk. It is a pretty boat and the sun was wrapping around the boat. I took some images but there were always a bunch of people in the shot, which I didn’t like.
Lots of people on the River Walk last evening. We ran into a teacher friend of Jeanne and they had a nice visit while I photographed a bunch of gulls fighting over a dead fish.
Jeanne’s friend is retired now and is enjoying life to the fullest. Thinking about all the things she likes to do and trying to figure out some new things to try. That’s a nice agenda isn’t it? To get up in the morning and not have anything that you have to do. Only the things you want to do.
I hope you have a good Monday. They can be difficult from time to time so be careful. Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you tomorrow.
