Winter Wonderland


Yes, I suppose I should have focused on work this afternoon, but blue skies and a beautiful day were beckoning. It was way too nice to stay inside. Besides, I typically work into the wee hours of the morning; why should today be any different? Give me some sun, a couple of hours on the clock and my camera and I’m easily distracted.

Mark used to fish at Grand River Park all the time, but I never really explored it until I took a photography class last year and was working on an outdoor assignment. Today provided just as many photo ops, and I ended up shooting about 100 pictures in 1.5 hours. (Do you think that’s obsessive?)

The 162-acre park is located in Georgetown Township along the banks of the Grand River. It features three miles of nature trails, upland woods, a floodplain forest, restored native grasslands, wetlands and a small lake. I’m anxious to revisit and wander later this year to discover what each season has to offer.

Great exercise, tons of good pictures. How am I going to narrow it down to just one?
