Friday's Fotos - Rain drops on a rose...There is something about a nice gentle rain that soothes the soul. The air has been cleaned, and the lighting conditions are just perfect to capture photo ops such as the water droplets on this rose. Kinda puts you in your right mind doesn't

Photo blogging is more than taking pictures...Most folks who know me, know that I love photography. That being said, is it any wonder that I would join William Johnson's ActiveRain Photo Blogger Group?...Photo blogging takes on another dimension when one couples all the segments of video, photography and of course, paid

(not so) Wordless Wednesday ~ Having a distorted point of view...Ever met one of those folks that are really weird? You know the ones I'm talking about. The ones that have that mentality where they seem to live in a world of grays. Most folks say that they have a distorted

Yesterday, ActiveRain member Richard Weisser wrote a post about the beauty of everyday nature. His eloquent words prompted me to go through some of my old photos. Photos that capture what often goes by unnoticed. Scenes that we far to often do not see or take for granted...

(not so) Speechless Sunday... What is it about a waterfall? Whether it be a raging torrent or a mere trickle meandering through its predestined path, there is something about the sight and sound of a waterfall that enamors us.To me, it is a quiet respite of solitude. A place to reflect

(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,

Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder... Every morning you are handed 24 golden hours. They are one of the few things in this world that you get free of charge. If you had all the money in the world, you couldn't buy an extra hour. What will you do

(not so) Speechless Sunday... Friday, was one of those cold, damp, dreary days so atypical of the late autumn weather patterns here in middle Tennessee, not the early part of the season. Nevertheless, the beauty of the solace of a deserted rural road, the eerie silhouettes, and the last hurrah's of

Friday's Fotos - Autumn... Throughout time, Autumn has often been denoted as a time of change. Whether you are in the autumn of your life, or the seasonal equinox; autumn has several meanings. To me, Autumn is a time when the summer foliage pulls off its mask and the radiant hues

When was the last time you used or even heard the word ineffectual? I have to admit, ineffectual is not a word that frequently rolls off the tip of my tongue even in a Freudian slip. And quite frankly, I cannot even recall the word ineffectual ever coming up in

Although the colors are draining from the flowers in the garden, there is still a lot of activity from the flying flowers as they zip from the array of late blooming flowers in my garden. Yesterday afternoon, there must have been over 50 of these miniature inch

I really find inspecting older properties in the Nashville real estate market both challenging and amusing at times. In today's photo of the day, all I have to say is; this is knot the way you do it - install an attic light that is. I guess I could add, "Brilliant!

Yesterday was one of those days. Needing to unwind and being the start of a long weekend, I thought I'd grab my camera and get into my 'right mind'. The weather is perfect and the late summer blooms here in the Brentwood real estate area are really popping. The garden is

Yesterday, I got a real treat - not a treatment. For the past several months I have been nurturing my moon flower vine. Over the past few days, my efforts have been rewarded by an abundance of beautiful, fragrant, brilliantly white blooms. Yesterday, there were over 30 blossoms. The soft subtle

Good home inspectors will do whatever it takes to give their clients a good inspection. Although there are differing thoughts about getting on roofs, I rarely do, especially if it is raining. (I find that at my age I do not bounce well.) So in order to give my clients

Good home inspectors will use all their senses while inspecting a property. The other day, while inspecting a more "experienced" property in Brentwood, I could feel that the master bath area had a noticeable slope. Mental note to self - something is definitely amiss under the house.
Needless to say,

As I was putting together a special photo album for some folks that work with inner city children, I realize how much I love taking pictures - especially of children. Some folks say I have a gift to be able to blend in with the background and take the candid

Thoughts for Tuesday - My 2¢ worth...
Every now and then, I run into one of those challenged properties that makes me wonder, "Where is that run-away bulldozer when you need it?" Not that some rehabbers need an improvement on their handy work or anything like that..
