Different Strokes...
Dif ● runt. An ad-jek-tuv meanin':
1 unlike in form, kwality, or nature
2 dis-tinkt
3 dif-ring from all others
4 un-use-u-al.
Havin' lived in the south all my life, I know that southern folks are dif-runt. That's jus' the way is an' some folks jus' ain't a-gonna change.
Now jus' when my tired 'ol eyeballz thought that they'd seen it all some brilliant sole came up with this novel way of installin' one of those new fanguled satti-lite antenna thing-a-ma-jabbers.
Hellz-Bellz, they musta got plum tuckered out carrin' those diggers from the shed ☺☺☺

(not so) Wordless Wednesday ~ Downtown Franklin, TN
Downtown Franklin, TN is steeped in history, tradition, and a unique blend of old and new. Is it any wonder that this quaint town was named one of the top 10 Best US neighborhoods by the American Planning Association? Downtown Franklin, TN is Tennessee's first neighborhood to get this designation.
I will be doing a video blog on Downtown Franklin, TN later this week. This picture was a screen shot of some footage I took earlier this morning. Now maybe you understand why Hollywood wets the streets in night shots. Better reflected light.
☺☺☺

Today is a beautiful sunny day. The sun is right, the colors are bright. What a wonderful day to be here in the middle Tennessee area.
Peak colors are about a week or so off. But why wait. Get out your camera and get into your right mind. Enjoy the beautiful weather before old man winter settles in for awhile...

(not so) Speechless Sunday...
Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day here in middle Tennessee. It was time to grab the camera, let grind of the workweek go and get into my right mind.
The last blooms of the blue iris under the dogwood intreagued me. Checking these from every angle possible, the background was not what I wanted, so I did what every good photogropher does - Cheat!!!
Pulling a little black cloth out of my bag of tricks to block out the background behind the blue iris, changing the lens to a 70-100mm, using the right manual settings, and Voila ~~ the perfect backdrop and camera settings to enhance the color of these late blooming beauties.

Playing with fall colors...
Finally, afte what seemed to be a week of gray overcast days the sun finally came out here in middle Tennessee. The last cool snap has started bring out the vibrant colors so atypical of this area.
These vibrant colors are just too good not to have fun with. Although your typical pictures of the fall foliage can be great, why not be a little more abstract. By putting your camera on aperture priority, and setting it to the smallest iris possible, and using a zoom lens, you to can create neat effects such as this. Try it some time.
