Happy Tuesday!

I will take a brief hiatus from my Nashville trip to show you some images I took yesterday.  Jeanne and I did a photo run after having lunch at one of our favorite restaurants in Dubuque.   We always tend to gravitate to the river and after visiting the 16th Street Basin we went down to the river.

Had some fun photographing some Ring-Billed Gulls and then we went up to the lock and dam.  We made all the normal rounds and finally stopped by A. Y. McDonald park where I found these wonderful flowers.  I really enjoy photographing flowers but I had the wrong lens for doing so.  Well there wasn’t anything I could do about that so I just used the lens I had and it seemed to work very well.  Any port in a storm as it goes.  🙂

I’m spending a large amount of time reflecting on my experiences from last week.  Many thoughts and emotions to sift through and distill.  It definitely had an impact on my thinking and my way at looking at photography.  The final result is still to be determined.

Thanks for stopping by the blog.  Enjoy your day and be careful.
