Cutler Park in "Regular" Daylight

If you are a frequent viewer of Cutler Park photos on my website (Hastings Street Photography), you may be wondering what those scenes look like at some time other than dawn, in "regular" daylight. So one afternoon this summer, I went out to the Park and took pictures of some of the same scenes that appear in my photo galleries.

And then, in the afternoon:


I'll post more of these from time to time. Or if you live in the area, you can just go see for yourself!
