Sunny Sunday...with snow



What a difference a day makes! Centennial Park in Nashville has a life-size replica of the Parthenon from Athens, Greece. Pictures were captured yesterday (gloomy, grey skies) and today (blue skies and sunny). As you can see, today was a beautiful sunny day, but still chilly.

Saturday Snowfall in Nashville


After all of the fuss here in Nashville, we ended up with about 4" of snow on the ground, with a nice covering of sleet/ice, making for what I like to call "crunchy" snow... couldn't do a snow angel, but would make a great snowball! This picture is simply a snapshot of our street, with the street sign. Kids are sled riding ON the streets since they are so icy! Nashville doesn't have the snow removal equipment like the northern states, so secondary streets haven't even been thought about.

My First Nashville Snowfall


It is a snowy day here in Nashville! The forecast is calling for up to 7" of snow, but I ventured out with about 2" on the ground to capture a few pics! This is part of the magnolia tree in our front yard, with the tree line of pines in the background. It sure is pretty! This is the most snowfall we've seen since moving here!

A New Beginning

Welcome to my photo blog! I was inspired a week ago to commit to taking pictures more regularly to force myself to continually learn photography. I love photography of all types, but as you will see, my focus area tends to be nature, travels, daily life, animals, flowers, and landscapes.

I like pictures taken "as is" and not revised in Photoshop, so what you see is what was captured by the camera. This blog will be less words, and more photo focused. My goal is to take new pictures each week and post a photo a day from either that batch or from a pre-blog gallery.

Hope you enjoy it and I welcome your comments and feedback!
