Zoo Blooms.





Behind in posting? Yeah I am. I'm posting this group ahead of some new New York pictures I took over spring break because I can't seem to get the panoramas upload properly. Most likely user error or some file size issue. But I digress, these were taken at Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden during Zoo Blooms. An event in which the Cincinnati Zoo has over 80,000 tulips blooming throughout the zoo. A great event to go to and walk around and see the beautiful flowers and animals. Some days live music is playing... ohh yeah free admission during those live music days.

The Ohio is a little high...

Taken down at Sawyer Point in Cincinnati, Ohio looking over the Ohio River at Kentucky. As you can see the Ohio River was pretty high causing some flooding. Cresting just above 51 feet it engulfs the overlook in both pictures.

All Quiet on the Winter Front...




I know I haven't posted in a while, mostly because the temperature has been hovering around the mid 20s. It's a little too cold to really do much of anything. On the "warm" days I managed to get out and take a few pictures. The first picture was taken today. A spectacular sunset lit up behind the Cincinnati skyline. It was pretty awesome to watch take pictures of. From the second I set up in The Celestial parking lot in Mt. Adams till I left, I was taking pictures. All work and not play... Photography is all about timing. The second sunset was from about a week earlier. I got there early enough to capture the entire sunset, but by the time the sun was supposed to shine some pretty colors on the clouds the sun had dropped behind some thick cloud cover on the horizon and nothing came through. The last two were from the Eden Park Ohio river overlook. It was still pretty cold and I never really saw much anything that interested me. Those were perhaps the best of that day.
