“Dry Creek” is a landscaping element popular in drought-ridden and dry climes, especially in the area I live. There is a semblance of a creek created with the use of rocks in a form of path or creek bed. It’s really a pleasant landscaping element. Additionally, the use of xeriscape plantings decreases the need for water once the plants are established. This is taken alongside one of the local library’s walls.
I wandered around the complex – sounds industrial – which contains the teen center, senior center, and public library. Besides the buildings are gardens and a local park, all of which contain native plants and trees. And places for a person to enjoy. Here is one of the many benches under the trees, this one in front of the entrance to the main library. Having read that a good way to determine if a black and white photo will work is to look for strong contrasts . . . I liked the light sparking through the leaves above the bench in particular, as well as the shadows and lines within the frame.

What was that TV game show with prizes behind Door 1, Door 2, and Door 3? I cannot remember. But, I do remember the doors . . .
I went out around noonish when I decided to shoot the roll of Tri-X 400 and have it pushed in processing. Is this the result of pushing, or did hte lab fail to do it.? I have no idea! Nonetheless, I really enjoy the silhouette of the tree and branches against the midday sun.
Another one of the bronze statues in the complex which houses our public library, teen center, and senior center. Behind it all is a neighborhood park, complete with pond, some hiking trails, barbecue and picnic areas, as well as a creek and playground. It’s a place where you can do a lot of things and find a number of resources for all ages. It’s a true asset to our community.
