Coping

Today marked the fourth day following the Highland Park July Fourth Mass Shooting. People quietly paid tribute to the victims, with drizzle occasionally falling from the skies. Once again, I made my way to Highland Park. Here are my thoughts and images.

It was an unusually cold day today, with the driving winds whipping the willow tree branches about and chilling the air and my hands.  Not a good day for outdoor macro photography.  Nor did I find it a particularly good day for photographs providing overviews of the Japanese or English gardens.  The light was just too cold and harsh.
