These are pictures from my visit to the park on 25 August 2007. It was a particularly beautiful morning, moderate overcast, a nice break from the intrusive heat and sun. I find an overcast day beautiful because it provides ambient light conditions for photography. Starting at the top left, I will go right and work my way downwards, left to right.<br />One of the many pro-dog signs boldly proclaims that a wet dog is the most affectionate creature in the world. The wetness on the sign proves the recent rains. One of the big dogs gets into the classic play position, the cool sand enabling longer durations of activity. Laya plays in the doggy lake, her favourite spot to cool off, catch her breath and take off running again. She says 'Hi' to a doberman as he tries to woo the pretty hound. Roxy, dripping with lake water and happy looks for her play buddies. She did sport a pink collar. This old great dane surveys the land and tries to get his bearings. Laya waits in her play-stance for Roxy to finish playing with the beagle puppy. The white german shepherd cools off in the lake while keeping an eye on his master. Finally, a view of the lake with a fountain in it, the dogs look pleased, happy and at home.Abhishekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09888384739268821710noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841312486600132136.post-50322669099829413732007-09-02T18:20:00.000-04:002007-09-02T18:25:37.753-04:00a child's place<br><br><br><center><img style="border:1px solid #7f7f7f;" src = "http://shekscrib.com/JaxDailyPhoto/27.JPG" width="800" height = "600"/></center><br><br><br><br />I found this little Montessori school on a tiny road in the middle of a lot of trees and well guarded fences.

The Acosta bridge will take you there though this part of the street is closer to the Fuller Warren bridge that carries I95. I took these pictures while visiting the Cummer Art Gallery.

It was a striking day for a photo essay but this picture came out so well that I had to post it separately. This is, by far, the best portraiture I have taken.

The few ducks that my apartment complex boasts about are in this photograph. These ducks inhabit the lake that is supposedly a part of the apartment complex but the complex is only one side of the lake. Our neighbors include a new condo construction site on the second side and a small warehouse complex complete with straight trucks and tractor trailers on the other two sides.Abhishekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09888384739268821710noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841312486600132136.post-76534989437317192142007-08-25T07:13:00.000-04:002007-08-25T07:16:08.540-04:00Rent Me<br><br><br><center><img style="border:1px solid #7f7f7f;" src = "http://shekscrib.com/JaxDailyPhoto/18.JPG" width="800" height = "600"/></center><br><br><br><br />With housing prices at a constant down, renting is the way to go. Moreover, families prefer the prosperous St. John's county for their better school system than this Duval county. Notice the duck engraved on the sign. The next picture will explain it.

They have teamed up with George's Music to present this large outdoor festival.
