Neat pictures I've taken - Page 12

There's a couple of historical markers in that park, one dealing with the founders of the town (and the men who gave the land for the park), and one honoring the surveyors who have surveyed this country over the years, an inordinate number of whom came from Eldorado Springs for some reason.

Nary a word on the history of the bandstand, which, to my thinking, would have been far more interesting.

Built in the early 30s? Then there is a few left that might remember the story behind it, but you'd have to find them fast.

I actually found a history of the town online, but they just go on about the town band, which has been in continuous existence for over 100 years, now. They mention the bandstand being built, and that it was the third of its kind, and built in 1938...but nary a word about how unique it is.

From my camping/skiing trip to Dale Hollow in Tennessee.

Some of the skiing part ...the boys did all the skiing.

And they did a lot of this too...at least the scenery was really nice.

I actually woke up early enough one morning to take sunrise pictures.

Horses at my gf's mom's place near Butler, PA

Proud enough to display it wherever I go.
I've had it up for a few months now, and I've had quite a few people on the highway give me dirty looks, like they're wondering why I have that up instead of the US flag. And a few in parking lots asking me if I'm actually English. I usually smile and say 'close enough'....

Next time berate them on not knowing the difference between the Union Jack and the Cross of St George - that'll larn 'em.

Hehe! You know, I wanted to get that flag initally, but I couldn't find one around here. Well, find one without paying an arm and a leg, anyways.

I've been quite busy taking pictures this summer. Wish I could find a way to make a living at it. Here are some shots from Canada, Mexico and a butterfly festival here in MO. The cute little one is my niece who went with me to the falls.

Tree Fae · 08-24-2008, 09:54 PM

two more

Tree Fae · 08-24-2008, 10:21 PM

Two at Powell Gardens

Nice. Making money from your photography would be cool, but just be happy you have the chance to travel.

Tree Fae - great pics! Are you using a colour-enhance function on your camera? That butterfly (and the flowers near it) are soooo vivid! Is that natural?
