Early Spring, aka The World Resumes
I posted another photo-essay on Youtube recently, based on photos taken in March and April this year. I rather like it, please check it out and leave a comment!

No amount of toying with shades of print or with printing papers will transform a commonplace photograph into anything other than a commonplace photograph.
Still sorting through my piles of vinyl, and still making Spotify playlists based on Various-Artists albums from way back when. This is from one of the first albums I remember owning, from way back in 1970. From Ronco Records, no less! The record is long gone, but the internet provided the song list. So here you go:

Another pre-digital photo... Probably taken in the late 1990's, but posted to Betterphoto (RIP) back in June 2003. It is possible this was scanned near that 6/03 date, I had an inexpensive flatbed scanner back then (before printer/scanners were even a thing. Probably tweaked with MGI-Photo Suite, which was the first photo software I learned. It came bundled on one of our home computers. I went through a (mercifully short) period where I added these color-matched border....
Continuing my series on walking trails. Mostly in our general area, though that may expand after a trip or two.
Today's post is Leclaire Park, Edwardsville, IL. A quiet spot nestled in the historic Leclaire neighborhood. A quiet, little, spot, just over 5 acres. A walk around the perimeter was only 0.41 mile, though I did do more than just the 1 loop... I've only been here a few times, but it would be a regular spot if I lived nearby, and still had young kids.
This is one of my oldest digital pictures to be posted online. This was posted to (defunct) BetterPhoto 5/2003. I remember posting this one to my 1st online photo site, which was through Americal On Line. From my Kodak LS443 Silver Lake Park, Highland, IL, maybe a little before that.
The original file for this is awol, possibly on an old hard-drive pulled from a dead computer. This was downloaded from BetterPhoto on their last day active.

I posted about 10 days ago about a Spotify Playlist I made based on an old Various Artists compilation record I had. Well. I've done it again! This is an album from 1980, on K-Tel records, titled "Vintage Rock". It's a really nice collection of songs, check it out!

Today's Post is Joe Glick Park, in Edwardsville, IL. Another nice, open area, apparently ~40 acres. They have a nice lake, play structures, pavilions, b-ball courts, a dog-park, etc. Lots of open space, and a few sculptures.
By stacking a few loops on the paved trails, I was able to get a bit over 1.5 miles. Nothing dramatic, but more interesting than our typical rails-to-trails options.
