Sunday At Railroad Park

I think somebody has a dance recital coming up!

King of the Mountain!

I photographed the boy in red and posted him here.  As the family came down the path, I asked the parents if the boys would be willing to just play on the playground for me.  As the two brothers

started up the climbing dome,  I waited.  I taught elementary school long enough to know what one of them would do when he reached the top!

Boy In Field

Often when I visit places over and over, whether here in Birmingham or Paris, I try and challenge myself to find something new to photograph or even just photograph in a different way.  Last Thursday I was leading a group of Youth Leadership Forum students on a photography assignment at Railroad Park. I have been there more times than I can count. I was beginning to think I'd find nothing "new", until I spotted this young boy. I was far away and zoomed,  and ran and zoomed,  and ran, and this was what I got. Later, I photographed him with his brother on the playground. Those photos later.

Dog Days of Summer?

I'm never really sure when the Dogs Days begin, but I think I'm close.  These boys were having a ball at Railroad Park!

Spring Like Weather

They were head over heels at Railroad Park!

Biker Boy

This big dish at Railroad Park was probably designed for the skateboarders, but I often find kids on these cool bikes having a blast.  Reminds me of a modern day version of the  Big Wheel.

The Skeptic

I spotted her with the floppy hat at the Pop Up Bazaar at Railroad Park last week.  She let me take about four photos but she didn't seem all that sure about the crazy lady with the camera!
