Please Help Those That Need Us Most

Next week is Thanksgiving; we have many things to be thankful for however, this is also a time for families that this day will bring sadness and another day of hunger. Please take the time to find a food pantry near you, drop off food and allow those families that are hungry a day they too can be grateful for. 

Yikes! Has it really been that long?

Ashamed, shocked, appalled, I can't believe I haven't posted since August. As you can tell from the photo below it is now Fall. If you are from the area any idea where I took this photograph?

I've been a little busy, just returned from Southern California where it was...wait for it....83 degrees. Stay tune and come on back I promise, promise, promise to update. By the way HAPPY BIRTHDAY ME!!! 

Armco Park

Took a little visit to Armco Park near Lebanon, OH, came across some interesting subjects.

Update on the Ohio River Flooding

 Riverside Dr., Kentucky

 Same lights from the last post. Almost underwater now.

Construction of the flood wall.

Ohio River Flood Stage

With all the snow that has fallen north of us it really isn't a surprise that the Ohio River is flooding. What I can't tell you is if this is as high as it will go. Will be keeping an eye on this.

***Update*** Ohio River will crest sometime on Sunday.

 Surf's Up!!!

 Sad to see all of this trash.

I made a short video of the fireworks that I photographed this year, take a peek, hope you enjoy.

Foggy Morning on the River

Looking out the window before going to bed I saw fog starting to roll into the area, I wasn't sure if it would still be there in the morning but I set my alarm anyway just in case. Waking up way to early for me, (I'm a night owl) I eagerly made my way downstairs and out the front door to check on the fogs conditions, much to my delight it was still foggy. Grabbing the camera I flew out the door. Heading for the river I was hoping it would stay foggy long enough to get some photos. Woohoo I hit the jackpot. The three photos below were taken on and near Riverside Drive, right across the river from downtown Cincinnati.

 The one above is by far my favorite. I am ohhhh soooo printing this one up and hanging it somewhere.

I think I'll print this one up as well.

CSO Lumenocity

My photo buddy texts me yesterday and says "do you want to go to Lumenocity at Washington Park?" so of course I text back and ask "what is Lumenocity?" photo buddy's response was "OMG" I knew then that my ignorance was showing and just waited for the answer, "Lumenocity is the 2nd annual Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra event being held in Washington Park," you dumb ass....okay I added that last part in my head after I read his reply. The event doesn't actually start until this evening (Friday night) but the dress rehearsal was last night, thinking the event had to be free we headed on down to watch.

When we arrived we found out the event was free however, we still needed tickets to enter, so we walked around in search for a free place to sit, during this exhausting search we came across some local news channels.

Then we stumbled across the construction of the new tracks for the street car.

finally we found a spot and planted ourselves as close to the symphony as possible, which was right behind them and across the street. Yep not so pretty but all I wanted was to listen to the music anyway.
