Ansel Adams Has Nothing On Me

Trying to get artsy with the new camera...light shadow and stuff like that...


November 8th and its 75 out

The last couple days its been really nice out. So day off and nothing much to do. I decide to go for a walk.. Down to the river front and over to the government bridge.

The bridge is in some record book for being old and still working. Not something I want to think about as I walk/drive over it...
The nice looking walkway up to the bridge.
That you can look through to the ground below...way way ...maybe 10 ft below. And the rushing river.


Two ducks out enjoying the day.

the roller dams. the River is high for this time of year.
Me taking a picture of someone taking pictures. She waved when she saw what I was doing.

A nice mural in downtown.

How Long Has This Been Here.

This is an area off the Centennial Bridge by the Y. I saw it a couple of months ago and thought "how long has that been there?" I found out it been there about 10 years. The big rock for a little longer. Its all the Germans that settled in the area.





Digital Camera 2.0

I got an early Christmas present from the sister. A digital camera. Now I have one already but it really doesn't work that well. Oh you get great pictures if its sunny or very well lite and no one moves for two minutes while it thinks if it wants to take the picture. Now we go onto camera two or maybe its six. These are taken before I bothered to read the directions. The owners manual is on a disc so I had to wait til I got home and put it in the computer to see what half the stuff did and why it all looked over exposed. Get ready for a lot of pictures of anything that catches my eye.

But I don't want my picture taken...

On The Waterfront

Since mostly finished with walking down the Duck Creek Bike Path I've now moved back to the river front. Started at the baseball stadium and went down stream. Didn't think we'd make it all the way to Credit Island but made a pretty good effort. Saw a lot of sea gulls,cranes and blue herons.


Looking into Credit Island with the club house for the golf course.

The railroad bridge over the Mississippi

Looking through the bridge at the arsenal bridge and Centennial Bridge




Blue Heron standing guard

Not really sure what this is all about. Its welded together. Some kind of object d art



If you put your nose to the screen you can see the bank building framed in the trees...or click and make the picture bigger.

Some the beautiful scenery on the side of the bike path
