Delta Lake State Park
I suppose it is only fitting the first image I capture is at the same state park for my last image. But, considering it is Delta Lake State Park it should not be a surprise. It has been roughly seven months since I picked up my camera. During the summer months last year photography was not fulfilling me. I struggled with those feelings and decided to put the camera away. I focused on another interest and buried myself in it.
Recent conversations with friends at work have stirred my creative desires. Last evening after dinner I drove to the park for the sunset. I practically had the place to myself and it was wonderful. I wandered the “beach” finding plenty of images and soaking in the vibe. I left the park feeling rejuvenated.
Below is the first view I found, and yes it is a familiar view but it doesn’t change how it can make you feel…

I’m glad you’re out with the camera again! Sometimes a break is good. Curious what your summer hobby was or is?
Hi Dawn! Thanks. Probably better to say I let my video games consume me again. Something more noble like burning down my “to be read” pile of books might sound better but I escaped into different worlds in the games. Stepping back on the beach at sunset last night was reinvigorating…
No judgement here, I haven’t read a book of any consequence in years.
