Come Join Me!

It took three years but I finally used up all my photo storage space. I have the option of purchasing more storage but since I already have a flickr site it just isn't logical to spend more money on basically the same photos. For now it just makes sense to create another blog on blogger. So come check it out I'm now at......

Hope to see you there.

Back to the Park

Heading back to Smale Park to get the photos I missed last time. Stay tuned.

It's Official

After 51 years I finally joined (not by choice) the "I got stung by a bee" club. OUCHY!!! Then the stupid bee had the audacity to come into my home, the dogs and I had a little fun. Can't get stung twice.

Behringer-Crawfor Museum

After we left Newport we found out that the Behringer-Crawford Museum was offering free admission Sunday. I have lived 1/2 mile from this museum and have never gone in, actually I have lived in Northern Kentucky for 11 years and have never been to the Newport Aquarium either, shame, shame shame, the Aquarium is on my list of places to go, I might wait until the fall when all the kiddies are back in school though. I wasn't allowed to use my flash so I upped my ISO, surprisingly I didn't get as much noise as I thought I would. Check out the link on the left to learn about the museum. Below is just a small sample of what we saw.

What is it about a train that can turn normal adults into little kids? I had to press every button on the panel to see what it would do...twice. That was so much fun. Ahhhh the little things in life.

Italian Fest Newport Kentucky

We were sitting around today, letting another beautiful day go by when we decided to get off our butts and head to Newport to check out the Italian Fest, I know I said yesterday that we were not going to go but what the heck.

I tried to talk honey into going down the slide but when he saw these three he said no way.

This is a kiddie ride that took you pretty far up, well pretty far up for a 6 year old. I loved it, it sounded just like a helicopter. Shaking head, I need to get out more.

This little girl was having such fun. I'm to old even for these little rides. I'm pathetic.

I really wanted to put some type of caption for the above photo but thought better of it. Bad, bad, bad Kelly.

Another Round of Fireworks

What a lazy day I've had, you would think on a day like today one would be out enjoying the weather or at least uploading photos to my blog but not me. Lazy, lazy, lazy!!! 

I wasn't really happy with the fireworks last night, not so much the way they turned out photographically, I mean the event itself, was just lacking. Don't get me wrong I haven't been to a show yet that was really disappointing but it just didn't give me that WOW factor. No matter I'll be back again in 2 weeks.  

I'm not planning on going but the Italian Fest is happening in Newport this weekend.

Boats on the Ohio River

Okay here is the deal, I went to upload 10 photos from tonight's firework show and not realizing how freakin tired I was I ended up uploading the wrong week. so for now this is it because I need to go bed.

Firework Friday

Tomorrow night is another firework event, bring your camera and join me and other photographers at Riverboat Row. Hope you're not tired of fireworks, after tomorrow night 6 more events are scheduled.

I forgot to give you the most important information of all....The Reds are playing the Detroit Tigers....Sorry Reds fans but I am a Michigander all the way so until after the series ends on Sunday...GO TIGERS!!!

Cincinnati Museum

I took a quick trip to photograph the Cincinnati Museum.

Smale Park, Cincinnati Ohio

I finally found a parking space YAY!!! Let me rephrase that, I finally found a parking space I didn't have to pay for. YAY!!! I didn't visit all of the park but I do plan on doing that at some point. I have to admit this is one beautiful park, I can't wait to see the rest when it is finished. The first two photos ended up being a bit of a disappointment, only because you can't really see the water flowing.

The two photos above the water is a little clearer.

Now these three photos above turned out excellent. I was able to capture the water in motion.
