Cleveland County Fair is one of the biggest County Fairs in our area, it lasted for two weeks. The first week it rained, and finally lead up the second week. We went last Thursday, and Sunday was the last day. The weather was exceptionally warm at this time of the year and since I love… Continue reading Cleveland County Fair
Bo finally get to use his DIY snow plow. I was skeptical when I saw it at first, he mounted the plow to his lawnmower. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21jPxJLgCD8 He was thrilled that it worked so well. Panning shots I think it did a great job, we had almost a foot of snow.
This is my contribution to Scott's Assignment 25: Your Photography Passion. I have to say that I photograph everything around me whether it be plants, nature, people or events. I am a gardener and I love to photograph plants, it's fascinating to see how fast they grow from week to week. I photographed my garden… Continue reading Assignment 25: My Photography Passion
I took these pictures last Saturday and didn't have a chance to post it until now. My company had an employee appreciation day at a family entertainment place, kind of strange seeing these games after Lee and I just saw the 3D computer-animated comedy film Wreck-It Ralph the night before. The food was pretty good.… Continue reading It’s Game Time
We attended the Hickory Oktoberfest last Saturday and the crowd was thin in comparison to last year. The weather was cooler also but I don't imagine that's the reason why many didn't come-out this year. Perhaps it was because of the economy, many didn't get to work and it has been very slow in our… Continue reading Hickory Oktoberfest 2012
More Tulips photos continued from Tulips at Biltmore. This is the entrance to Biltmore and when we got there I was so happy to see that the tulips were in bloom. Near the entrance is a gift shop. This is one of the gift shops that Lee has not shopped in. This image overlooked the… Continue reading More Tulips at Biltmore
This is my contribution to Scott’s Assignment 15: Competition. It is one of the hardest assignments for me, and one that I enjoyed the most so far. I thought it would be interesting to photograph car racing, a sport that I knew nothing of. We visited the Hickory Motor Speedway on Sunday, the race usually… Continue reading Hickory Motor Speedway
The NC H.O.G. Rally was in Hickory this year, so Lee and I thought we would check it out on Saturday. The HOG stands for Harley Owners Group. This is my first time attending an event like this so I really didn't know what to expect. I tried to dress to blend in a little… Continue reading 2011 North Carolina H.O.G. Rally
Click here to view this video on YouTube We headed to Virginia Beach after Almes Giving on Sunday morning at Wat Lao Buddhavong. This time I made a reservation ahead of time, and it was a 3 hour drive from the temple. I'm not a huge fan of crowded beach since I grew up going… Continue reading Vacationing at Virginia Beach
I went to see the young unicyclists at Lee's school Friday evening. Lee shows a great interest but I don't think that this is something for her since she is afraid of falling and hurting herself. This boy was jumping over many cars, the crowd cheers. The teacher lining up more cars. 🙂 He is… Continue reading Young Unicyclists
If you are tired of seeing my zoom effect, I am too. I think between the zoom effect and panning, I like the latter much better. When I first learned panning in August of last year, it was an instant success. The image of Lee came out a lot cooler than I had imagined. At… Continue reading Zoom Effect Vesus Panning

In a way we are very much like the pilgrims but came way later so Thanksgiving celebration is a big thing… Continue reading Fourth Year Anniversary and Many Thanks
