 |  Category: Daily, photography  | Leave a Comment

We took a wonderful Sunday drive and enjoyed the absolutely wonderful 70 degree weather. It was great especially the breeze and wonderful skies. I took quite a few pictures and geotagged them so you can even see exactly where I took them. Just go to the FLICKR site below, enjoy the photos, and check them out on the map.

18 Apr 2010 Fall Creek Falls
 |  Category: Daily, photography  | Leave a Comment

It’s almost 10pm and we’re winding down from our trip to Fall Creek Falls. We’re settling into the inn for the night. I actually walked down to the bottom of the falls today! It was unbelievably rocky and steep. This old fart is sore and tired! I have wonderful pictures to upload to flickr for everyone to see but Jo Ann is busy using the laptop to do her “FarmVille” on facebook! Check them later tonight or tomorrow. The Internet available here at the state park is slow and only available in the lobby and conference rooms. Anyway, it’s our 29th wedding anniversary and we’re not here to surf the net if ya know what I mean!!

06 Apr 2010 New Toy for Photography
 |  Category: Daily, photography  | Leave a Comment

One of the things I’ve been doing with photography at my flickr.com site is adding the pictures I take to the map at flickr. This lets you know where the pictures were actually taken. However, it is a manual procedure and some pictures are taken on road trips and not a locations you can easily remember especially later that night or days later when you upload the pictures. So I’m going to try this device that you simply attach someone on your person and it constantly writes your GPS location to a log. You can then later (using software) take your pictures with their timestamps and match them to the GPS log and it’s timestamps and know exactly where the picture was taken. I’ll give it a try tomorrow and update here how it goes.

God's newest little blessing!

Welcome to the world — Marilyn Elizabeth Hendrix! Marilyn was born at 5:05am this morning and weighed in at 8 pounds and 20 1/4 inches. She is doing great and Anna (mom) is doing fine as well. We will be leaving Friday (yipee) to visit with Thomas and Anna and help out with the baby! They already have an 18 month old named Elijah. It is all Jo Ann is talking about — finally a girl. Thomas is currently stationed at Fort Myer, Virginia where is in the 3rd US Army Infantry Regiment, 4th Battalion, 529th Regimental Support Company of the Old Guard as a Combat Medic. Here’s their website — Old Guard.

Found this site while doing some flickr updates and have been having a blast every since. It gets me back doing photography and Jo Ann and Timothy are even helping me look as well.

14 Dec 2009 Star Wars in Concert – Nashville, 2009
 |  Category: Daily  | Leave a Comment

Timothy and I had a wonderful time today. We stopped by Loveless Cafe and had lunch before heading out to Nashville and the Somet Center where we attended the “Star Wars in Concert”. It was incredible — great music by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra from London. They use a 3 story screen for the movie clips and lasers for effect. Here is the link to pictures on Flickr:
