Change Is Hard

…but change is certain.

Four seasons, part 1

15 Comments

A year or so ago Karma, over at Karma’s When I Feel Like It, suggested we work on getting 4 seasons of an image from a single location. That means it’s a year long project, one you have to be conscious of as the seasons change. It requires some planning.

I knew when I saw this location that I had found my spot. Penny agreed.

Our first visit to this part of Penny’s park was in November of 2023, so technically this image is late fall. Or early winter.

And then I waited for some snow to fly, and we went back. Snow made it officially winter, at least in my mind. Penny said snow makes everything more fun.

It wasn’t long until winter gave way to spring. Spring was so pretty over in Penny’s park.

And then it was full blown summer, hot and muggy, but still fun.

I could hardly wait for fall, and I wasn’t disappointed. Penny and I went over there more than once, it was so pretty.

I guess, that makes five seasons, but I just couldn’t leave that first image out. I hope you enjoyed this series….because Penny and I have another one to show you soon.

She’ll probably do the honors because she is, after all, the star of the show.

I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.

  5. What a cool project! I didn’t participate in anything official, but I have a bench in a park that I’ve taken in every possible season. Hmmmm.

  7. What a great idea! I love seeing the changing of the seasons … as well as the maturing of Miss Penny. She’s got you trained very well in that “one pose, one cookie” contract!

  9. This is a fun post with Penny and the same image in all four season. I did a blog post a few years back standing in the same location at the beginning of the forked path at Council Point Park for every season, then made it into a collage:

  10. Your ‘spot selection’ is perfect: both in itself and also as a showcase for Penny. There must be something appealing about this kind of project. I have the same sort of thing up right now, although I never intended to take the photos of the same spot. It just happened.

  11. OH, I love seeing photos like this! One of the perks of living in a place with 4 “real” seasons is being able to see the nature cycle so vividly. Even if that means we have to deal with the slush, ice and darkness that comes with “real” winter.

  12. Hello from the slacker blogger hostess of the four seasons photo hunt. I have been away from the blogs since school began. Now that it is term 2 and I have a long weekend, I think I’ll finally get my lazy butt posting. Thank you for continuing the photo hunt. I enjoyed both posts about it, as well as I’ve been enjoying following your travel photos. I agree with Penny about the final photo in her post – really beautiful.
