Irvine Park Fountain

Rob, Dan and I went on a photo safari to St. Paul the other day and started our adventures at Irvine Park.

Lakeside Wildflower Theme Day

The CDPB Theme for August is 'Bright colors'. I chose this photo since it's not and obvious brightly-colored object, but an effect I enjoy. When the sky is overcast, colors are relatively more vivid, something I learned from my painting instructor Joe Paquet. I shot this on the Lake of the Isles shoreline at 5:45 in the morning in the cool overcast morning. Click here to view thumbnails for all participants in the theme day.
