Nashville skyline from the south

Wednesday, May 4th, 2011

This picture was only slightly photoshopped. OK, just kidding, it has a lot of ‘shopping done to it. I was looking around on my flickr page and noticed this picture taken in 2009. Its one of the many ‘drive-by’ pictures that I’ve taken of the skyline. This is my favorite angle of the skyline because its from the southside of town and I’ve only lived south of town so this is the angle that I’m used to seeing most. However, I haven’t found a good place to take a shot of it except from the interstate. So after seeing it on flickr and appreciating the clouds and clarity of the picture I started adding some textures and overlays and this is how it came out. By the way, this picture will soon be outdated because of the new convention center that is currently being built.

Azaleas

Friday, April 22nd, 2011

I figured that one of these pictures would be a Project52 shot for this week, but this shot just seemed more interesting. I planted these Azalea bushes this spring to replace the thorny bushes that I pulled up last fall. I got them for $3 each at Wal-mart. They’re very small so I’m surprised how much they’ve already bloomed.

Nashville Zoo | Feb ’11

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011

We took Molly Cate to the zoo a couple of weeks ago. It was the first time in a few months. I was hoping that she is starting to get big enough to appreciate the zoo. But at 9 months, she still doesn’t look that amused. She’s basically just along for the ride.

I’ve taken a lot of zoo pictures over the last couple of years, and I didn’t take as many this trip, but the ones below are some that are a little different than ones in the past.

The meerkats are usually fun to shoot. I think one reason I like to shoot them is because you can get close to them, and if you get down on their level (and with enough tries,) you can often get a decent shot. This one was shot through the glass. Oh, and the new baby meerkats are pretty cute.
