Black and White Wednesday is run by Lisa over at
The Long Road to China.
This gazebo can be found at Osbornedale State Park in Derby, CT. I started my parks project here at this gazebo back in September 2009. I had found a entertainment map of CT and I was just skimming over the map, looking at all of the parks, when the idea hit me. I have SO MUCH free time in between my day appointments and my night fairs. Some days, I would sit in my car for 3-4 hours, just waiting. Why not make use of my time? That was when I decided to make a personal goal of visiting and photographing every single state park in the Constitution State.

Outstanding Blogger Award
This delightful award was recently given to me by Ashley over at Ramblings and Photos. Considering that Ashley is one of my most favorite-est bloggers EVER, I feel quite honored to get this award from her! Many thanks to you, Ashley!
I have no idea what the rules are for this award, so I am just going to pass it on to some more outstanding bloggers.

Camera update
My Samsung point and shoot was sent back to the manufacturer AGAIN. In the meantime, I've been borrowing my dad's Nikon often, as well as a Canon from my future co-SIL, Melissa. I guess I should label my photos so you all know which ones have been taken with which camera. For example, the photo below was taken with the Canon.
Blogging update
I made 2 new blogs, but I don't expect anyone to follow them (although you are more than welcome to, if you are interested). They are for other purposes besides "Artistically Me," and I wanted to keep myself semi-organized. i heart reading is strictly for books and reading, while Finding Joy in Simple Pleasures... Photos was created solely for Photo Hunts.

I'm also linking up with Simplicity's Photography Blog Hop.
The theme this week is color.
