The birth of my infatuation or perhaps I should say my obsession with photography began in the mid nineties. Then my main subjects were my children, since my children have left the nest for many years now my passion for photography has never faded but rather grown in a different direction. I have discovered that beauty is never ending, taking on forms that I could have never imagined. I feel blessed that my world has expanded through photography and hope my passion never weakens.

At the Horse Farm

I headed out to a horse farm in Independence, KY, not your typical horse farm. Here the horses help with local children with learning disabilities. What a fantastic program.

What A Game!!!

Cincinnati Reds come from behind in the 9th to win 6-5, winning the series 2-1. What a game it was. A much deserved win, the Reds out played Miami even though Miami had more hits the Reds made every hit count.
 
Home Run!!!






Strike Out Baby!!!

Cincinnati Reds Home Night Opener Fireworks 2012

Unfortunately my firework photos did not turn out well. When the lights went out I thought I had taken the lens out of auto focus and I didn't so I had to manually focus. My eyes are not as good as they use to be so the photos came out slightly blurry. I still have 9 more tries this season to get it right.

Abandon Incinerator

After I was done taking photos of flowers I thought I would take a trip to the old abandon incinerator. Last time I was there they posted no trespassing signs all over the place now they have the area open to bikers, of course I had to venture back once again. The first time I was there I had no idea that the building had a basement so I had to check it out, the smell was so bad I thought for sure someone had placed a dead body somewhere, I have to admit though it would certainly be a good location for that. I didn't have my boots on so I didn't risk walking around in the basement, the photos are taken from just outside.

Spring

I went around the neighborhood today in search of flowers again. Really didn't have to look far. The flowers are still blooming everywhere. I'm having such fun. I used my closeup filter +4, not as good a macro lens but it's decent.
