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…
(Photos shot with a Nikon D60, using an 18-55mm, 55-200mm, 20mm f/2.8 wide-angle, 50mm f/1.8 prime lens, Nikon CoolPix S205 and/or iPhone4)

The marsh antlers are amazing! And I love the way you found such great shots in an old playground. Love the way the slide reflects the image of the trees.
