I think it’s safe to say I took a lot of photos this summer. I traveled to the Rocky Mountains (a trip for which I still have one more blog post planned) and took thousands of photos there, but I also hung around Saratoga, where I photographed the Saratoga Race Course, our beautiful parks, a polo match, and lots more that our city has to offer. I already dedicated posts to my helicopter ride over Saratoga and 18th Century Day at the General Philip Schuyler House, and the Saratoga Race Course, so you won’t see any of those photos in this post, but the rest are fair game!
Waterfront Park opening this summer brought much-welcomed public access to Saratoga Lake. The park existed previously, but has recently been renovated to make it more welcoming to visitors.
My friend and I met these two dogs and their humans after visiting the park.
I also attended a polo match at the Saratoga Polo Association.
I don’t know a lot about the game, but I’m learning each time I go.
My friend and I went to Old Friends at Cabin Creek in Greenfield to meet Funny Cide, the 2003 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner, and other retired thoroughbreds.
Pictured above are Red Down South and Zippy Chippy, two not very competitive horses who happen to be the best of friends.
I also captured a few photos around town with my smaller camera (Samsung NX1100 and 30mm lens). Above, a sunset on Caroline Street, and below, the Lake Avenue Fire Station.
My friends and I went to Congress Park one morning after capturing a sunrise at the Oklahoma Track. Hawthorn Spring looked so beautiful with all of the flowers.
The rising sun made beautiful sun stars with my 16-35mm lens.
