Travels With Maggie
The park across the street from my son’s home in Lake Jackson has a basketball court, but I’ve never seen it used for that purpose.

Perhaps that is why some young artists – I suspects students from the school next door to the park – decided to brighten it up a bit. While I was away for the summer, they dabbed the rough cement court with color.
The bright images include a river running across the court, a few houses and trees, a hop scotch layout and a couple of gigantic snakes, the kinds of things young artists have been doodling on paper since they could hold a crayon.
I found it enchanting – and so in tune with the week’s photo challenges about possibilities.

Those are all fun pix, Pat. Tell me though. In the first one, the shadows are facing the sun. What’s up with that? 🙂
Well the theme was possibilities!

I have never seen grackle look more magnificent!
I see the possibility of that last photo being my all time favorite of yours.
Thanks. I was truly amazed at how magical it turned out. I wanted to get a low shot of the grackles and the color of the basketball court painting fused into the scene.
