Eagles!

In honor of the Decorah Eagles Webcam that I am absolutely obsessed with and can't stop watching-I am posting photos today from Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee. Reelfoot is an excellent place to view Eagles in the winter. We didn't see any wild Eagles, but they do have some in a large enclosure at the visitor center. I could have watched them all day, they are so beautiful.

Views from the Gateway Arch Pt 2

More views from the top of the Arch, after I switched to the zoom lens.





This last one was played with a bit, giving it that weird miniature look!

Just a test



Testing photo quality. The top photo was saved using lower quality, less kbs, the bottom photo saved at high quality(which is what my photo editor recommends). Just wondering which ones looks better on the web.

Maybe I'm back, maybe

I haven't had the opportunity to get out to take photos, nor have I had a good photo editor on my new computer. And the self esteem issues and addiction to World of Warcraft didn't help.

But we took a trip over Spring Break, and I found possibly an awesome free photo editor-and I'm getting a bit bored with Warcraft. So maybe I'll try to add some photos in the coming days and weeks.

It may be a bit of hodge podge-a little bit from trips, a little bit from things around my town, probably mostly things that I find interesting and that reflect the area I live in, i.e. the small suburbs that are still somewhat "country".

While I get acquainted with my new photo editor, and spend some time organizing photos and deciding whether or not to only post here in the future or keep my website(which I think I've actually lost at the moment, argh-need to go work on that). Seems easier to add things here, but more control over my personal website. What to do...

In the meantime, I am adding one pic I took from our trip to St Louis for Spring Break, more are on my Flickr page.

This is the Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee.
