Pictures my son takes – Mendon Ponds Park

You’ve seen my preview of the Mendon Ponds Park field trip.

My son was with me, with his own high-falutin’ digital SLR. Let’s see what the hike looks like from his perspective.

He took some of the same shots as I did, only that since he’s shorter, they look a tlittle different. Like this one:

The trail head.
The trail head. Compare with this.

In the end, though, he was absorbed by details. And the details are what make his photos brilliant.

Here's this awesome stick in Devil's Bathtub that I must have shot a dozen times.

This one is gratifying, since I’m a geologist and he’s actually taking pictures of rocks.

Looking out over the water. Only he’s too short to see it from his vantage.
