The Last CDP Theme Day: A Favorite Photo

For years, the first day of each month has meant "Theme Day" to City Daily Photo bloggers.  We have had colors for themes.  Locations.  Abstract thoughts.  Numbers.  

Well, September 1 will be the final Theme Day, so CDP bloggers are asked to look over their archives and show us a favorite image.

This photograph of Megan combines three of my favorite things.  First, for 40 years I have lived at least part of the year two blocks from Hartford, Connecticut's Elizabeth Park, where this photo was taken.  Second, I like meeting complete strangers, learning a bit about them, and making portrait photos.  (Megan's mother was in a photo club and Megan volunteered to be a subject for the club members . . . I sneaked in.)  And, finally, I like beauty in all of its forms. and Megan had beauty in abundance.

So, go find a favorite photo and show it to us on September 1.  That will be a bittersweet time on two dimensions for me.  It will close the book on the CDP portal, though CDP bloggers will continue posting on their blogs and will use other outlets like Facebook and Instagram to share their creativity.  And, it is a week before the day when I close on the purchase of a new summer home in southwestern Connecticut and prepare to leave the house where my kids grew up.
