I went running earlier this week at Lafortune Park here in Tulsa. It is a huge complex with playgrounds, picnic grounds, batting cages, an American Legion ballpark, two golf courses, a library, fancy croquet courts, tennis courts, and a high school complete with a football stadium and yet another baseball stadium, and some nice ponds and fountains, all linked together by a popular three mile running/walking/strolling/waddling trail that I use frequently.
It was a sticky morning and when I finished I needed a little extra cool down walking time and so I walked over to the ponds behind the library and saw the “same old thing” in a new way so I pulled out my trusty old free, Pantech generic no-name phone and used its HDR camera to take a pic.
Have you seen something old in a new way before.
i like how you say bare (or is it bear, any whoo!!) with me while i get use to the new blog … i think it should go for us too. i had to look real hard to find the comments. that was a real fun time. ha. ha!! i enjoy the new space. keep us posted on the new digs. have a ball. love the reflection. ( :
Not long before we could not have imagined a mobile telephone, let along one which could take good photos. It is amazing what we carry in our pocket nowadays.
A pretty sight!
Like Bill said, we no longer carry cell phones. We carry hand held computers that can make phone calls. Very nice image. I played my Babe Ruth ball at La Fortune long before it became the complex that it is today. Have a blessed week-end.
What a lovely, peaceful place and a terrific capture for the day!! Hope you and your family have a great weekend!! Enjoy!! Thank you so much for continuing to host SWF!! You are appreciated!!
…to have the extra cool down time, we would have missed what you saw and shared!!
Very serene place. Beautiful shot.
So glad you saw the same old thing in a new way! It’s gorgeous!
Great phone pic! I like the reflection in this shot, and looks like a great place to run.
A lovely place to be, and you captured it nicely.
This would make a brilliant jig saw. Hope I’m back in the fold so to speak.
Yogi, I am joining Sky Watch Friday for the first time. What a brilliant idea for a meme topic. The sky does seem to dictate the mood for the scenery. Your photo is absolutely beautiful. The blue and green colors and the water create a nice cool spot, in spite of the fact that it was hot and sticky that day. I am your new follower. Christa
Thank you Christa and welcome. I love Skywatch. I didn’t start it, I am continuing it as a way of giving back to the photoblogging community that has been so kind and generous to me. One day, I will pass on the torch to someone else.
It’s feel great when I see something old in a new way! This is a wonderful photo!
Very serene and beautiful photo ~ for SWF ~ Yes, I find that photography is about seeing things from a different perspective ~ thanks, ^_^

gorgeous capture Yogi.
Thank you!
So lovely view at sunrise! Have a sunny first day of summer!
Good day! I could have sworn I’ve been to this web
site before but after going through a few of the posts I
realized it’s new to me. Anyhow, I’m certainly delighted I stumbled
upon it and I’ll be book-marking it and checking back regularly!
Absolutely beautiful capture.
Oh, definitely I look at something I’ve seen a hundred times and then like for the first time I see something totally new. Nice pix! Happy SWF!! BTW, I host a WW linky party each week. Feel free to join in anytime! 😉
