The Great Outdoors....

I went to visit my dad the other night. He lives about an hour south of me, so I don't get to visit often. He has about 10+ acres of land. It's really nice just to go and walk around, look at the flowers and the garden. My girls love to go run around and play with the dogs. I took some pics while we were there. The light was really nice. It was right at dusk, after a nice rain. The green of the trees & grass was really brilliant. I took several shots of the landscape and of the flowers and garden. Hope you enjoy....

Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg, Tn

I came across these photos today when I was doing a post for our TDIPT blog. I decided to post them on my home site as well. This aquarium is really cool and if you are ever in the area, it's definitely worth the trip. There's lots of stuff to see and do in Pigeon Forge and in Gatlinburg plus the Great Smokey Mnts offer hiking, backpacking, horseback riding, camping ect. Take the time to stop in and visit. :)

Downtown Knoxville....

I live in Knoxville, Tn. We took a stroll around downtown last weekend, so I decided to take pictures of interesting pieces of architecture along the way. I love antique lighting fixtures, old iron fences and buildings with interesting characteristics. Here are just a few of the pics I took.
