George Rogers Clark Memorial part 1

This past weekend we drove back home for a birthday party.  I decided to get up one morning and take a few pictures of the George Rogers Clark Memorial.  I’m always trying to imagine places to take landscape pictures back home but unfortunately, the majority of what is around is flat farm land.  This is one of the few unique structures in and around where I’m from.

Another Accomplishment

I know this is not a major accomplishment for most but last year I remember many times she cried because she couldn’t reach the doorbell.  Well she has finally succeeded!

Bath Time part 1

Last year I sold my Leica 50mm summilux to purchase the 35mm summilux FLE.  Since that time, I’ve really missed having a more compact 50mm lens (I have the huge noctilux).  When the Leica 50mm summicron APO was announced I pre-ordered it (Dale Photo).  Today, it finally came in the mail and even though I’ve only take a few shots, I’m extremely impressed.  I don’t think I’ve ever had or seen a lens that is as sharp as it.  Here is one of my first shots.
