The kids school band and choir had a concert tonight.  They did very well.

And this one was my PAD:

After Church today Lily and I went down to Fort Negly and walked around.  I just learned than Nashville was the most fortified city in the Civil War and this old fort was the largest masonry fort in North America.

I also made the following photos during our walk:

The Nashville Sounds stadium, right next to the fort:

Today we took the girls to the Cumberland Science Museum.  It was a lot of fun, they have added a lot of new things.

Did a lot of catching up on filing, invoicing, archiving of images these past few days.  I did work on the Picture A Day a little:

Today I did some things in the office then went over to Cool Springs to pick up some stuff from various stores.  On the way home I stopped by these little old cemeteries right off Crockett Road.  I have passed these many times thinking I ought to stop and make a few photos, today the fall leaves were too pretty so I did stop.  I was lovely with the bright colors, and old stone walls.

Today Lily and Rachel went to church.  I stayed home with Ashleigh who was not feeling well.  After they got home I took Ashleigh over to Nanny’s house and Lily, Rachel and I went to the gun show.  I have been looking for a Ruger Blackhawk 45LC/45ACP convertible revolver and finally found one there.  Lily got it for me for my Christmas present.  What a lady!

We then went to the Chinese grocery store then got Ashleigh and came back home.

From the grocery:

Today the Brass Valley Brewers got together to brew our Oatmeal Stout.  It was a lot of fun, as it always is.  I decided to take my camera and lighting gear and make some decent photos so that I can put them together and make us a decent web site.  I am still working on that.  More photos from the day are here.

Today I was working on office stuff when I got a call from Bob Haines to inform me a friend had died.  Neil Brake, another local photographer, passed away Tuesday.  Neil was only a few years older than I.  He worked at Vanderbilt, and prior to that he had worked in Alabama for a NYTRNG paper at the same time I was with the Gwinnett Daily News.  This news really put me in a sad mood.  I had spoken with Neil not too long ago and was planing on going down to Vandy and having lunch with him, but I never got around to it.

I did not do much photography today, but I did go out and make the photo below for my PAD, dedicated to the memory of Neil.

Today was a beautiful day and I just could not stay inthe office.  I loaded up my cameras and hit the road and used my GPS to find some out of the way little towns I had not been to before.  It was fun day and the photos I made will work into a project I began about 2 years ago and put on hold.  I have decided to restart it and hope to finish it now.

Today was a busy day working in the office and running errands.  I did stop and make a few photos along Old Smyrna Road in Brentwood.  This is a road that I am sure is soon to be changed as growth continues in the area.
