My son not only has a BA in History, last summer he finished a certificate program to be a paralegal. He is working his way through the formal certification tests and has been looking for a job as a paralegal.
He got a call asking for him to interview a law firm in mid town Tulsa for a paid intern paralegal job. So at the appointed time I drove him to the firm and then headed out to nearby Woodward Park to wander around, see what I can see, and maybe take a few photos.
It was late in the day, the sun was low and the shadows were long and it was a beautiful Oklahoma autumn day. Autumn here lasts ridiculously long.
So I wandered around doing my thing and when I was about finished, son called and said he was done. I picked him up and he said the interview went well and they would let him know in a few days.
They came through with a full time, paid, temporary intern job at a salary about 50% higher than the box store job that he has. So of course he said yes.
Monday morning my wife took him to work and I picked him up at the end of the day. I have picked him up after work countless times over the years and he never had the big smile that he had that day. He had a great first day. He was nervous at first but his training kicked in. He had such a sense of accomplishment.
His boss sent him an email saying he did well.
His second day went well also.
Who knows where this is going, they only promised a temporary job, but for now his Mom and I are happy just enjoying the work he is doing.
And here is that moon I promised you. The full Beaver Moon shot a few days ago in my back yard.

Congratulations to your son!
I love the Poems and Promises sculpture.
It’s so great to hear your son’s interview went well, and that he’s off to such a strong start in his new role—he sounds like he’s really hitting his stride.
I enjoyed your stroll through Woodward Park—I especially love those glorious fall colors and reflections. And that moon shot is the perfect way to wrap it all up.
Wishing your son tons of success ahead!
Congrats to your son on his new job! I love the views of the park, the pretty trees and pond and the sculptures. Take care, have a great day!
Great set of images and such good news regarding your son’s new employment opportunity. Have a happy Thanksgiving.
Great photos. There’s nothing in the world that makes a parent happier than the happiness of their children. How proud you must be of your son for his wonderful accomplishment!
…water makes everything twice as nice!
Wow, a big congratulations to your son!! Those sculptures are beautiful, as are your photos!
I enjoyed the cyber tour of Woodland Park. Thumbs up to your son’s new position. Temporary could mean a permanent job soon. The sculptures are beautiful and I bet you could wait for the coat of snow on the lady. Happy Thanksgiving!
Lindo parque. Me enamore de la luna. Te mando un beso.

Great photos! I especially like the first one with the perfect reflection of the trees in the water. Hard work and perseverance pays off. Congrats to Logan!
Congratulations to Logan! Temp jobs are a foot in the door, and even if this isn’t, it’s a great thing on a resume!
I love that first photo with the reflection. They are my photo weakness.
My daughter is starting a new job on the 2nd. I hope she has a big smile after her first day. This was not her first choice.
Congratulations on your son’s job. Nature and job, both good for family!

Congratulations to your son. Even a temporary job is experience and a stepping stone. A temporary job in the late 70’s led me to what became my career. Best of luck to him and you took some beautiful pictures. I like the sculptures.
The sculptures are so beautiful. Goodluck on your son’s new adventure.
