This past Wednesday, I went to Longs' Park in Lancaster Pennsylvania. I've been to this park several times, but although it's February, the temperature was nearly 60. I wasn't the only one taking advantage of the warm weather. There were others...couples walking hand in hand, mothers watching their children playing on the playground. Some were just relaxing, enjoying the nice breeze.
Of course, I went to the park to take photographs. Before I go somewhere to take photographs, I try to visualize the type of images I would like to take. Although I did this, the subjects seemed to come to me as I was walking. The subjects in question were seagulls. A lot of seagulls. I didn't count them, but did I really have to? (The image above is one of my first images taken on this day. The seagull was standing on a park bench rail. It didn't even notice me approaching and it didn't fly away after I took the photograph.) There were mallard ducks as well. There was a thin layer of ice on the pond...it was humorous seeing the seagulls and ducks waddle their bodies on the ice. I took 20 photos while at the park, then I decided to call it a day. (I really wanted to go home so I could view my images on my computer and find out if I had any keepers.)
Longs' Park is located off of Route 30, Harrisburg Pike Exit. The park is open from sunrise to sunset daily. Signing off until next time.
