Bethesda Park Part I

Since I've been spending so much time at the local park, I figured I'd start a series just for the location. Bethesda Park is a very unique place. In an area probably only 1/8 mile square, the habitat includes:

small cave
small water fall
small pool/lagoon
stream
wetlands
flood plains
rugged woods
sun scorched clay (tiger beetle land)

also:

huge ropes course
disc golf trails
basketball courts
tennis courts
walking trail


Multiple species and varieties of insects, animals, plants, and flowers flourish here. It's a great place that hasn't been polluted or over ran with crowds (its a pretty unheard of park). I will be spending much of my summer here because I literally live 10 minutes from the park.

Now, for today's shots:

Great shots! Personally, I would increase the exposure by 1/3 - 1/2 stop

A superb set, looks like a great location!

looks like a great park to hang out in for sure.

The daisy is great. Wall-hanger!

Great work
I too think that Daisy is very cool

Thanks everybody. I don't know if it's just me but my favorite/best images are usually spur of the moment shots.....not the ones I spend a lot of time on (usually).

Does anybody else relate?

Lovely shots.

Great set!

Great shots! Sometimes, spontaneity works & you end up getting that WoW shot when you least expect it. I think you will have a fun time in the park this Summer.

Nice set!

first one is amazing and I quite like the bull frog as well! Great series
