On top of Cowger Parking Garage

Since it snowed a little this morning, I thought I would take my camera with me so that after work, I could take some interesting downtown night pictures with some snow on the ground. By the time I left work for the day, the snow was nowhere to be found. So I walked up to the top of the parking garage and decided to take a few shots in the cold misty rain. I don’t think this one came out too bad, but I wish I knew how to take really good night photographs. One of these days I am going to read the manual that came with the camera. :)

Today my friend Linda and I took a quick trip to the Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve, a wonderful little spot in Oldham County, KY.  It was an overcast day but it was very mild and quite pleasant for this time of year.  Linda and I swapped cameras for the fun of it and she and I took some photos, which I posted on flickr.  We ended the day having lunch at California Pizza Kitchen.  Nothing like a nice day walking in nature with a good friend, and finishing it off with some good food.  Later on, we each had a drink called the Promised Land, which was a first for me.  It’s a concoction made with Baileys Irish Cream and Barenjager.  Zowie!  That was nice!

Farm outside of Sellersburg, Indiana, originally uploaded by me.

This blog is not only about my life as a struggling runner, single person, working man, and thinker, but is also about my other pastimes, like photography. Yesterday the sun was shining a bit more than it had been lately, so I decided to venture out and take some pictures with my recently acquired D-80. It is quite a camera, and I am still learning how to use it, as well as the software it came with to deal with the RAW image format I use. Today I posted a few of the shots I took in a new folder at my flickr account called, appropriately enough, Southern Indiana. I will probably be filling that folder up with a lot more pictures, but for starters, I put 14 photos there.
