Yes, the sun was shining, the streets were dry, and we were ready to take our cameras out again. So off to Historic Folsom we went. We found that getting there before stores opened and during the week, made this small tourist area very quiet. This is when you look for small things to photograph.
Like storefront windows, their reflections and shadows.




Buildings and other structures.




Store owners were getting ready to open, vendors were delivering and consumers were waiting for stores to open.




At last, the ice rink opened and was filling up with skaters, skilled and learning.

It was a relaxing and fun morning followed by a delicious lunch. I’m wondering, do we go out because we enjoy photography or finding new places to eat at? Maybe both!
I just like being outdoors, Anne, and the camera usually comes too. The reflections are fun.

That looked like fun, especially adding the food section. I liked the stores and people waiting, but those store windows are captured beautifully.

Going out because we enjoy photography or finding new places to eat at sounds good to me! And your photos certainly justify your expedition.

Some lovely old buildings here, it looks a great spot for photography. But in answer to your question, ‘do we go out because we enjoy photography or finding new places to eat at?’, I would say combining both is absolutely the best idea 😀
