Site Changes

So it was recommended to me to install LightBox on the site so that it is easier to view larger images. I totally agreed and have now installed it.

My questions to you are:

– Would you like to be able to have a link to click on that would carry you to the flickr version of the image as well?

( Currently with the Lightbox setup there is no link. )

– How are you liking the site and how would you suggest I get more feedback on images and posts?

Other than that not too much has changed around here other than updating some things and minor changes.

Thanks and have a wonderful day!

Yate’s Mill County Park – Detailed

As usual I was out and about at lunch a few days ago. We decided to head over to Yates Mill County Park since Jason had not been there before. It was hot and muggy but bearable in the shade. I knew when we pulled up that I wanted some detail shots, not “overall” photos as I had been there before and knew what to expect. I focused my attention on details and textures. There are still some other ones I want to get but that will be another day.

If you have never been to Yates Mill, here is what you can expect:

A day at Historic Yates Mill County Park offers visitors an “Escape from the Everyday Grind,” with unique cultural and environmental experiences. The park boasts nearly 174 acres of land, including the 20-acre millpond, which is part of the Swift Creek nutrient-sensitive water-supply watershed. Diverse park habitats include pond, creek, wetlands and forests. (WakeGOV.com)

Read on to find the history of Yates Mill, how it is used today, and some more images.

Fixing a Tattoo

This past weekend I was asked to drive a friend to get his tattoo fixed. Of course I would help a friend but on top of that it gave me an opportunity to take pictures of something different and possibly out of my comfort zone. Therefore I was pretty excited!

Before any one says anything…I know these are not “artsy” or anything fancy but he is going back again and I will try to work the artsy side then.

Read the rest of the post to hear the story behind the tattoo and why it had to be fixed along with some more images.

Hidden Locations

Driving around town I often wonder what hidden things or places that I pass by. If you really think about it, there could be anything, anywhere and that is kind of interesting to me. Read below to see some of Raleigh’s hidden places that are not so well known.

NC Farmer’s Market

Yesterday at lunch Jason and I decided to head over to the Farmers Market for some photo ops and i wanted some fruit. It was a beautiful day with a nice breeze blowing so I could not stand sitting inside at my desk much. Heading out I knew I wanted to get a picture of strawberries and corn or another vegetable. Upon walking through the various building I was able to grab some great images of flowers, fruit, vegetables, and a couple people. Here are some images from the day..I hope you enjoy them!

Visiting Beaufort, NC

I know this is a week late but i was in class/training all last week and my schedule was NUTS!

For Memorial Day weekend Nicole and I decided to go back and camp in Beaufort for a night. We have visited part of the area before but wanted to go back and atleast grab another lighthouse. We are working on going to all of them on the outer banks. We also wanted to visit Morehead City, Fort Macon again, and Atlantic Beach.
