Sounds of Summer

As I sat, and listened to the sounds of summer, the sound of running water rang clearly.   A fairly warm day, but there were no kids playing in the waterfall.  I watched as the water drops,  hit the ground and burst into a million of particles, on the weather worn concrete.  I approached the waterfall, but felt no urge,  to allow it to spray my hands with a slight mist.  I then walked away to explore a different sound.  The notorious water fountain, of which flowed continuously,  with no interruptions for thirst, or just kids play.  Simplicity.

No Sun, No Problem!

I once thought,  that if it rained, the day was lost.    I constantly hear,  that bad weather days, are great days to capture great shots.  After a storm, I went out on the pier, and the clouds were intermingling with one another, of varies colors, shapes and sizes.

DuSable Museum Arts Festival

There was a two - day event, at the DuSable Museum, arts festival.  There were singers, dancers, the sun, and color galore. I,  negated to go on the first day of the festival, due to rain.  The following day was gorgeous with a beautiful sun, beaming down.

Shooting in natural light, is a challenge, for one can not control the light, and when the light changes, you have to change with it...

4th of July Parade

The 4th of July brings a lot of excitement and crowds to the neighborhood. I gained a seat,  under the shade and waited  for the display  of colors, and amusements. This was my first occasion,  as being a spectator of a parade.  I learned, I have to shoot quickly,  get there early,  and get comfortable.
