Turnstone Water Catchment Area – Redmond

This water catchment area behind my neighborhood looked beautiful after the snow came. The kids sometimes come down here to play (or catch frogs) and there’s even a golf tee for some guy who likes to practice.

Anyway I walked down to the pond and took some shots. It had just stopped snowing and the clouds parted just long enough to catch some blue sky. I thought the pond, tree line and blue sky looked great. The big tree in the front was just a bonus 🙂

More snow play, tell me you have never wanted to do this to someone?  I know I have…

Turnstone Park – Redmond

This shot was taken in the park opposite our house. A fresh layer of snow had just fallen and you can see the entrance to the park. The footprints are mine; I made them just before taking the shot. In the background you can see the play structure we built for the kids in the neighborhood. We had a couple of crappy swings and we convinced the housing association to give us some money if the dads in the neighborhood did all the work. Seemed like a good idea at the time, but nobody seems to use it these days (maybe that’s because it’s freezing outside!)

After a long day playing in the snow the guys wanted to get warm, what better way than this?
