Flat Rock Park

It was another nice day on Friday. I didn’t want it to end sitting on the couch. After getting the boys fed I returned to Flat Rock Park to play in the water. I was hoping the park would be as empty as it was on Thursday but I could see as I drove in there was a lot of activity around the water.

My first inclination (and why is this how I am now?) was to drive through the park and go find another activity. I think the design of the park will work in my favor. The road through the park is one way, and you have to drive completely around to exit. As I approached the waterfall area on the opposite side of the creek, I made up my mind not to let a few people stop me. I parked the car, grabbed the tripod, threw the camera bag over my shoulder and headed to the creek to explore.

There were a group of young kids playing on the rocks near the water where I really wanted to setup my camera. As much as I remember those days, I wanted them to go play somewhere else so I could have the spot to myself. Luckily, as I crossed the stone bridge over the creek (see these older posts featuring the bridge, Autumn Bridge & Bridge) I thought this area might produce a few interesting images.

OK. Not terrible. What else is there to see?

Interesting. A little too much shine on the water. What does this look like from the other side?

I like this one. Anything else to see?

I eventually walked to the area near the kids. I’m unsure if their mom(?) saw me and told them to play in another area, or if she finally thought they were getting dangerously close to falling on the rocks and sliding down the water. Either way, I had the area to myself for a few minutes. Time for me to play.

Those images can wait for another day..

Go enjoy your Saturday.
