Crossing the line

Living in Northwest Florida, I’m within an hour of the Alabama border. I’ve about exhausted the state parks around here, so thought I’d take a drive to visit a park in Florala which is just over the state line. Florala ~ get it? FLORida and ALAbama, FLORALA?

The park isn’t very big, and other than an old playground and short boardwalk along the lakeshore, there’s not much there. It was a nice drive, and I took my time getting there, pulling over a few times to photograph old abandoned buildings.

I also hiked around a couple of parks nearest my house. They’re handy standbys when I don’t want to drive too far. This 365 Project has been a good incentive to get out more during the week for shorter trips.

And yes, I did actually take a photo through my sunroof with my camera phone…

  1. Tara, I am so inspired by your photos! Each time you post new ones I scan them and find myself saying, “Oh that one is my favorite!” Of course, the next week I change my mind 🙂 This week I adore the one titled Whitewashed! No matter what the photo, I enjoy the creative ways in which you add your watermark. Your use of your watermark as a door placard in Whitewashed is by far my favorite, with the library shot a close second! Keep sharing!

  2. Oh wow! I love the angles you choose, like the bottom of the slide and out of the sunroof. (I just typed sunroom. I’d like one of those!!) I also like the creative places you stick your copyright. I found myself (and I’m half asleep at 7AM) reading the wooden sign above the door of the abandoned house thinking “Oh WOW the name plate is still .. ohhhhh”

  3. The blog header is beautiful – and the photos are all fabulous, Tara. But what I always find striking is the way you watermark them. 🙂 Your photography makes even everyday things look special!
