Kentucky Vacation Thrice

Sorry this is a few hours late. I’ve had some car issues that have caused be to wobble slightly.

I know how many people are anxiously awaiting to see another collection of my photos from my Kentucky vacation. People stop me on the streets all the time wanting more information about the trip. The good news for them is that there are more pictures coming their way, right about now…


Next week’s Wednesday will include even more Kentuckiness. Including a look at the Dukes of Hazzard Museum!

365 Day Photo Challenge: 99-105

I think this might be one of the best weekly collections to date. But I should stop patting myself on the back and get back to work (on this week).

Personal Photo Project No. 191 Alpha



Garden of the Gods

The first order of business is to welcome Micky Augustin aboard as the latest person to show class, taste, and sophistication by signing up for a email subscription to the online journal of Photography 139.

Everybody say: “Hi Micky!”

These images were taken in a national forest in Illinois in an area known as the Garden of the Gods.

Yea, I fell down. But I protected the camera and finished the trail. A lesser man would have been foiled.

365 Day Photo Challenge: 92-98

Week 14 in the books. I’ll confess that I took some of these pictures not on their proper day because I was laid out pretty good last week with a bug I caught at a 3 year old’s birthday party.

Lots of digital noise in some of these pictures. As light is becoming more and more scarce, I have to remind myself that it is only a phone, but overall, I’m pleased with this collection:

I should point out my (physical) sickness did cause me to fall behind slightly in my journal entries, but fear not, Friday’s missing entry will surface soon.

365 Day Photo Challenge: 85-91

I like this collection way more than last week’s collection. It might just be that I photographed more things that I like this week though.

As always, all photos were taken and edited with my phone.
