Delta Blues
Delta Lake State Park
Yesterday we received the rain we needed, actually the rain is continuing this morning and probably will for most of the day. In the morning I spent my time getting the normal weekend chores completed, i.e., laundry and groceries. By mid-morning the sun fought its way through the clouds and it appeared we would need to deal with another hot & humid day. It self corrected as the clouds rolled back in after dinner and the sky darkened with the coming rain.
I didn’t think I would see a sunset but I drove up to Delta Lake on the chance a bit of sun would poke through before dropping below the horizon. Due to the weather the park was basically empty. I probably saw two different families enjoying the calm before the rain.
I got lucky as one of the umbrellas for the life guard chairs was not put away. The contrast of the red and white umbrella against the completely blue scene was quite noticeable. I walked straight to the water’s edge and this is the first image I captured. Looking at it this morning I wish I had composed the scene a little differently but overall it conveys the mood of last evening.

Walkabout
Outside Work, Midday
I have been back in the facility at work for the past two weeks. We are slowly letting people into the building while we work out the requirements and new procedures for working together in this new environment. We are an essential business (defense related) but that does not exempt us from following the state guidelines nor do we want to do anything to increase any risks to our employees.
Anyway, I couldn’t sit again during lunch yesterday so I attached the macro lens and went for a walk around the parking lot. Readers may recall I started this practice late last summer and it is a great way to get off my butt and find interesting images. Here are a couple of the lilies along the building.

Midday Walk
Mohawk River Trail
Late yesterday morning was a good time for a walk. It was warm but not hot with a small breeze to cool you off when needed. I thought another walk along the Mohawk River Trail would do me good. I packed a few lenses into a small messenger bag and headed out. There was no specific destination for this walk, the walk itself was the goal.
Before I even reached the start of the trail I decided I was going to capture as much as I could with the camera. When I started playing with cameras a few years ago I would capture images of everything. Now I have it in my head that every has be something I would print and hang on my wall. I don’t play with the camera as mush as I used to do when I was beginning. On this walk walk, if it caught my eye, I would photograph it and put it into a post.
I started with macro lens. The beginning of the trail does not have many scenic views but typically provides many opportunities for macro images. I slowed down my walk and let every color or spot of light have my focus. Little details most people would walk past deserved a look through the lens.
