Fall 2011, I'm back...

I met with the Knoxville Area Photography Meet up group for the first time this past weekend.  We met at Cosby, Tennessee which is just at the foot of the Smokey Mountains.  It was a very nice day and the weather was better than anyone could have hoped for.  The scenery was perfect and the people were friendly and helpful.

Claudia was home with a broken Wrisk but a friend of mine from work, Ed Mackin, was along for the ride and we very much enjoyed the day and the photography.  I am looking forward to more outings with this group in the future.

The days are getting shorter and cooler now and we're looking forward to it after the heat we have had this summer.  It won't be long now until the fire is burning in the fireplace and we are turning up the thermostat to get warmer.

I have recently redone my websites and updating them for some of the activities that has been going on.  This is the picture that I'm using on them.

I think I will change all of my pictures to this one.  I like just showing one half of my face thus lessoning the blow of the total impact of seeing me all at once.  I have on my serious face which I wear sometimes when I'm busy doing something that deserves my attention :)

I will make an effort to blog more often and keep everyone up to date on what I am doing and the progress of Claudia's arm etc.  We are planning a trip down south after Christmas to see my daughter and family and some very close friends.
