Recently my family and I went down to the Meeman Shelby State Forest outside of Memphis, TN.  With a little fog coming off of the parking lot, I walked down the boat ramp to take a couple of shots.  In this first one you can see the marker up above with the fog coming around.

 

 

Down on the ramp was this  amazing looking piece of driftwood.

I am in the process of setting up an account at Art.com and ArtistRising.com.  These sites will give me a place to post my photography for sale as Fine Art Prints.  Please be sure to check out my galleries often as I will be uploading new works as I get them ready.

 

Currently I have posted some photos taken at the Shiloh National Battlefield in Tennessee.

Earlier in October we decided to take our son to the Shiloh National Battlefield in Tennessee for a home-school field trip.    It has been about 15 years since I had last visited Shiloh during Boy Scouts.  This year represents 150 years since the start of the Civil War.  The battle of Shiloh took place over two days in April of 1862 at Pittsburg Landing on the Tennessee river.

 

We purchased the Audio-Auto Tour which takes you through the battle/sites in chronological order. It was a great chance to learn more about the battle and people who were involved.

 

 

 

Due to the rain I was not able to take many pictures in the early part of the day.  This park is also home to the Shiloh National Cemetery, where over 3500 Union dead were re-buried after the war.

The other day I decided to make a scarf, but wanted to give it a spiral look.   After searching online I was unable to find an existing pattern to make a spiral stripe using the Knifty Knitter Looms.  I found several patterns that would allow me to do solid vertical stripes, but this was not what I was looking for.  After giving it some though I came up with this design.
