This weekend I had the opportunity to visit a new-to-me park: Randol Mill Park in Arlington, TX.  Here are some highlights.

This fence with graffiti on the walls was calling my name.

But then I looked down and noticed wildflowers (aka weeds) strewn all over the sidewalk.  I didn’t bother to examine the surface too closely before sprawling on the ground to take photos of the weeds.

As I was sorting the photos to post in this blog, I was reminded of the magic of having the Canon 5D Mark II.  The camera takes enormous photos that can be cropped to my heart’s content.  The original photos (which I didn’t post below) were quite attractive.  But after cropping, I realized how much more interesting the photos look.

Camera:  Canon 5D Mark II
Lens:  My beloved 100 mm macro lens (Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L macro IS)
Date:  May 2016
Notes:  Observe your surroundings.  Take photos from different angles to add more interest… and crop!
