Who the Heck am I

Welcome to my blog, I ran out of storage space on my last blog so instead of purchasing more space I decided to start another.

Photographing is one of my biggest passions in life. I've been a photographer for 20+ years. Although I have sold some of my work I consider myself an advance amateur. Which means I'm pretty good at pretending to know what I am doing. I arrived from Massachusetts to Northern Kentucky September 16, 2001. I hated it, for months I complained about living here, besides all the redneck jokes I would get there was nothing about Northern Kentucky I enjoyed, when I got over myself I dusted off my camera and headed for the hills, literally, I never fully understood what a beautiful place this is until I was given my first digital camera as a Christmas gift. In all honesty you couldn't get me to move out of this state.

Living so near to Cincinnati (I live right across the river) no other city can offer me more. Art museums, Cincinnati Zoo, symphony, theatre, aquarium, amusement park, Dozens of parks, one of the largest and most amazing firework display in the country and so much more. If you are from the area you know what I am talking about, if you're not, believe me when I say In and Around Northern Kentucky is worth the visit.

I know you will want to check out my other blog, I have shot photographs at the Behringer-Crawford Museum, Cincinnati Museum Center, Cincinnati Zoo, Creation Museum, Eden Park, Findlay Market, Fountain, Square, Krohn Conservatory, Rabbit Hash, KY, Railway Museum, Smale Park, Spring Grove Cemetery and much more.

Around Covington

I hope all of you are coping with the winter. I have always been a winter person, love the snow, the occasional super cold days, this winter however, has been nothing short of brutal. I even told hubby that Florida may be in the distant future for retirement, I know that will all change the moment the outside temperature hits 90 degrees but for right now even this winter person is again waving the white flag.   

My first stop on my winter morning roundabout was to check out Jeff Ruby's restaurant, as you can tell from the photo above Jeff Ruby's was no where to be found. I looked up and down the river but couldn't find it. I know it's out there probably in a spot that is hidden, I have to say this is probably the end of Jeff Ruby's.
With the amount of cold weather we have been having I wasn't surprised to hear that the Ohio River had floating ice chunks, a little disappointed that this was really all I found.
All that is left of Jeff Ruby.
I'm not really into street art all that much but hooda whadda?
Since I was in the area I had to head back to the cabin to see how the new tenants were handling the extreme weather conditions, I can tell you right now they are not amused...lol. Do not miss the cabin life.


The above two photos are the conditions of Covington streets. Messy, messy, messy. Every bit of what looks like snow is actually ice. Some have been able to clear their sidewalks, most have not. For those of you in the warmer climates saying "better you than me,"     Bite Me!!!....lol
