Old Town San Diego

My Family

These are a couple of photographs that I took the night of my daughter's rehearsal dinner back in October. My photos really turned out rather bad but these two seem to be okay.

Starting on the left is my brother Rob, his partner David, next is Danielle whom I am hoping will be my future daughter-in-law, after that is the oh so beautiful and the most perfect daughter Christie, next to Christie is my handsome son Michael who better get off his butt and ask that second girl on his right to marry him and last but certainly not least my new brilliant son-in-law Jeff whom I am now noticing is exceptionally tall.

New Banner

This officially being my 100th post I thought I would celebrate by creating a banner at the top of my blog. I Created the banner with some of the photos I took in the last couple of days. Pretty snazzy I think.

Hanging Out In Downtown Cincinnati

Another beautiful day here, although slightly cooler, just didn't want to spend the day indoors. So I packed up the camera and headed downtown. I was a little surprised how crowded it was, parking was difficult if you wanted a space in the center which is where I wanted to be so I could walk around. I ended up driving all over downtown. Pretty much a safe city as long as you don't go beyond 9th street, I'll go up to 12th if someone is with me. The photos below are just a sampling of what I took. I've lived near Cincinnati for almost 10 years and it is by far my favorite city.

Happy Valentine's Day

Not my dog, as a matter of fact not even my photo but I thought it was cute. Oh when I say "not even my photo" it doesn't mean I stole it, I found it in the microsoft office clip art section.

Covington Kentucky

So I headed down to the river today, with camera in hand when I came upon, in my opinion, a rather strange happening. Maybe it is just me but who would want to go kayaking on the Ohio River in February? So as I watched I noticed a man with a microphone and a large professional movie camera. My second thought was that this had to be the George Clooney movie that they have been taping in the Cincinnati area for sometime now. This just had to be a scene from the movie. Not as impressed as I thought I should have been I took some photos anyway, went home started to go through my photos when I noticed the rather large piece of driftwood. I mean come on that thing is huge.

I love this door, it is built into the side of a small hill. I am sure it is used for storage but every time I see it I have this overwhelming urge to knock on it to see if someone opens the door. I have to admit that if it started to open I would also have an overwhelming urge to....run.

Happy Groundhog Day

I guess the little fella saw his shadow today which means that spring is just around the corner. Finding that hard to believe as I am looking out the window and watching the snow fall.
