Capturing Westfield

[lizziebelle]

The day started out with rain, but by midmorning it had stopped and the sun came out, so I threw on some clothes and headed out to work on my Picture Westfield contribution. I headed up Western Ave. to catch some of the great houses up there. I turned down Tekoa and was surprised to find a pair of turkey vultures on the chimney of the first house I took pictures of.



That was pretty cool.

I ended up at Stanley Park, and even though I know others will be taking pictures there, I have a few favorite spots they may miss so I took a few pix there.

I took some more house pix on the way back, then took a break for lunch and to upload what I took this morning.

I headed back out this afternoon, wandering around side streets in my neighborhood. I made friends with a few friendly cats, and spoke with a couple people whose houses I was taking pictures of. They thought the project was cool, and seemed happy I was including their homes in my picks for "cool houses in Westfield."

I even got a couple of cats on porches to add to my set.

I quit when I got the dreaded "Batteries exhausted" message, and the spares I had grabbed were dead. Oops. I got quite a few today though, so I'm off to a good start. I put the pix I'll be contributing into a new set on Flickr; you can watch my progress there. I want to make some mosaics from them, too.

Cross your fingers we get some good picture-taking weather on Tuesday!
