This is my favorite park. I have watched it grow from a plain lawn with a few shrubs and mounds of mulch to a classic garden full of blooms, interest and life. There is a gazebo which is perfect for a summer's evening prayer service. One evening when we were rained out I took this picture before joining up with the more sensible folk already dry in the church.
 
I am a Mother, Social Worker and life long Anglican living in New Jersey with my boys and husband. I have always loved photography. A few years ago my whole family realized I was taking so many pictures it just made sense to buy me a digital camera. They were absolutely right and now I carry a camera with me everywhere everyday. Sometimes the camera helps me see the things I feel. Sometimes I take the same picture over and over and it takes such a long time to get in print what I want to see. Sometimes the moments I catch are a total surprise and a blessing.
