Now I'll see it differently...

Two years ago, while living about a kilometer away from where I do now, I found a gem of a little park, that became a frequent running spot. Small little ravine, lots of big, beautiful trees, some bridges, park benches, and the sound of leaves crunching beneath my feet in the autumn.  Running is what I think of when I think of that park. 


Saturday though, was the beginning of new memories. A friend of mine, who is getting into photography emailed me a while back asking if I would be interested in doing a Mother & Son photo shoot -- which she appropriately named "Just the Two of Us". Our weekends finally aligned, so Saturday was the day, I'd been looking so forward to it! I knew we'd be doing some outdoor shots, but not sure where... and then some back at her place. 


We were going to my "running park!"  So allow me to give you a little tour....


Chillin' out on one of the many park benches :)


Nothing but sunshine, and big beautiful trees!
Old, wooden bridges...


Have I mentioned big trees!! I've stopped to stretch at this one before! Check out the height I got on Terron too! Plyometrics rocks!
Stairs were either my turn around, or a way outta the park!


Small little creek in the background... love the sound of water.






... and lots of wide open spaces

I've always loved seeing pictures of where you all run, welcome to mine!  Back at the house, more photos taken... the entire collection can be seen here if you're interested!
