Walk In The Rain
Yesterday afternoon with some time on my hands I decided to walk around Viking Park at the Gurnee Park District. A light rain was falling. The plantings in the park are well cared for. A variety of tree species are planted to memorialize individuals; paving stones honor community 
organizations. What better way to establish a memory than by planting a living tree. All things pass in the grasp of time. Since none deserves a pyramid, a tree is a sufficient statement, itself contributing beauty, nourishment, a presence to the earth and to 
humankind.
I took these pictures in a gently falling rain. I protected the camera, removing the lens cap long enough to take the exposure.
Everything is in motion, the freeze-frame of the photo is the now obsolete image of light and surface, yesterdays news.
Today is a new and different day. Everything is made new.
