12th Annual Garden Walk

Courtesy of the East Row Garden Club, the 12th annual Garden Walk took place this past weekend. there were 8 different gardens to explore, and enjoy. This makes my first garden walk, and did not know what to expect. The properties that we had a opportunity to admire were simply stunning. The home owners were able to transform some non-descript location into to some of the most quint usable spaces. the use of color and landscape in some locations just highly imaginable. It was wonderful day to take this wonderful little tour. Even though there were only 8 gardens, it was definitely a workout. When we were finished, sore feet and legs were to be had by all. If you missed the garden walk this year, it is worth the look, and a need to be put on the calender for '09. For the East Row Garden Club, kudos.

Deer on Mt Nebo Road

I was doing some family history stuff, and just happened to be on Mt Nebo Road in Cleves Ohio. I was driving up the road, and I came across these two brave souls. They acted as if they were used to people, so I was able to get a few good pictures. I have nothing against hunters, and they are needed. But I would shoot these with my camera instead of my guns. They are truly a beautiful creature.

Bird and Wildlife Photography

This was my first birding pic. I have photograghing buildings,people, and other inanimated objects. So I thought how tough could it be to photograph wildlife and birds? Well, how wrong was I? One thing about birds, they are in constant motion. Just getting the shot is half the effort. Plus it made me aware of the short comings of my digital camera. I thought a camera is a camera, Not so.
