Yesterday was the annual Eggstravaganzoo event celebrating Easter at the Nashville Zoo. Since I have been making the most of my Zoo membership, I figured I would visit and experience the various activities. I did not take part in the Easter Egg Hunts as I am sadly no longer under the age of seven. [...]

On the day before Thanksgiving I decided to get outdoors in search of Bald Eagles at Land Between the Lakes. After a quick tour through the Bison and Elk Prarie, I started toward the shore of Kentucky Lake to find some large birds. After a few false starts, and a slightly harrowing 1 mile [...]

I posted some pics from my beach trip as well as a trip to mammoth caves to my flickr account. http://www.flickr.com/photos/anthonut. The pics in the cave are not that great but there was a family of turkeys we saw on the way in. I counted 10 turklets or whatever they are called . [...]

 Seems I have been on a zoo kick lately, this time taking a trip to the Philadelphia Zoo while I was visiting home. I spent most of my time there in the rare animal exhibit as well as the primate house. Something is always intriguing about monkeys and their ilk. You can check out the [...]

As I sit at the airport waiting for my flight, I figure I should take a moment to update my blog. This past Sunday I took my first trip to the Nashville Zoo. I’m surprised it took me over almost 5 years to make my first visit, given my love of zoos and aquariums. [...]

This Sunday I was looking for an outside activity to enjoy the warm sunny weather. I hadn’t been to Cheekwood in a while and was delighted to see that they were having an orchid show. I’m going to give another go at growing a Paphiopedilum Pinocchio, which I was told was one of the easier [...]

It has been a very long time since I last posted to the blog, but since we just completed Spring Break, I figured it was the perfect time. I spent the bulk of spring break in Orlando, FL watching a couple of our school’s sports teams play followed by doing the Disney and Universal [...]

It has taken me almost 2 weeks, but I finally uploaded my photos from a recent trip to NYC after many requests from my mom. You can view all of the pictures here. We didn’t stay terribly long in the City but did have a chance to check out the Guggenheim, eat at Via Quadronno, [...]

A trip to Northern California wouldn’t be complete without viewing some coastal redwoods. I had first thought I would go to Muir Woods, which is north of San Francisco, over the Golden Gate bridge. But having just made a SF trip the day before, I decided instead to check out Big Basin Redwoods State Park [...]

While my two f2.8 L series lenses serve well for most purposes, I decided it was time to add a prime lens to my collection. I have found the 28-70 L zoom can be a bit heavy to carry around, especially if you know you will be doing closeups most of a shoot, say pictures [...]
