has to be some type of rose bush... anyone?

Photos from our daily walk

Posted on 6 Jun ’11 by Nikki Murray

In increasing efforts to be more fit and get outside as much as possible, Lex and I have incorporated a morning walk into our daily routine. The other morning, I decided to take the camera with me. I really should remember to take it wherever I go so I stop missing opportunities.

Cinci Zoo

Posted on 16 Oct ’10 by Nikki Murray

Everyone got in the car late this morning to head downtown. With the weather finally cooling off, I was anxious to see the autumn colors displaying all over the zoo. Unfortunately, I hadn’t realized it was also trick-or-treat day there. We spent more time dodging carelessly-steered strollers and walking around herds of the crazies instead of actually being able to view animals at the zoo.

Regardless of the crowded insanity, we still managed to have a bit of fun before heading elsewhere.

Wednesday celldump #2

Posted on 22 Jul ’10 by Nikki Murray

More colorful leftovers for this week’s iPhone photo gallery purge. This week there were nearly twice as many as last week, so I put them in gallery style. I clearly have too much fun playing with my iPhone apps.

A stop through Nashville

Posted on 28 Jun ’10 by Nikki Murray

Not really having any defined itinerary on our way to Memphis, we figured we’d stop in Nashville because it was there. The thought was that if we really liked Nashville, we’d stay there longer. Turned out that one day in Nashville was enough. I’m not a fan of country music and aside from the parthenon, Nashville really didn’t have anything I hadn’t already seen in dozens of other southern towns.

After our one day stop, we packed up our things and moved on…

Bye, Nashville!
