Today was the first day all year that I devoted to just photographing. It had been around two weeks since we buried mom, and having taken care of her many post funeral tasks I decided I could use a break and try and recharge my batteries. But I guess it was still too soon to expect that I was ready for that, as usually when I devote a whole day to shooting, I'm out of the house at the crack of dawn or right after eating breakfast, but today I didn't even leave the house till after one in the afternoon. Taking care of mom during her illness and death really had taken a lot out of me, and I still wasn't quite emotionally ready to jump back into the swing of things. But even with my rather late start to the day, my trip to Prospect Park turned out to be a very good one indeed.
