Florence Italy

From a recent trip to Florence Italy one of my favorite places to visit. The city is noted for its culture, renaissance art, architecture and monuments.

Digital Downsizing

My Wife and I are in the process of downsizing. We had a large home that was great for raising our children but now they are gone it is way to big for the two of us. So we have been in the process of cleaning out, selling off and giving away stuff that we no longer need or use. It is amazing how much you can accumulate over the years.  The same thing goes for my photography I have thousands of photos that I have taken that are stored on hard drives, dvds cds, thumb drives  and in the cloud  probably which most I will not use or look at anytime soon. I like what Ansel Adams said “Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop;” and that is something that I need to work on.

Heritage Village, Pinellas County Florida

Heritage Village is a cool place to step back in time and see how our ancestors lived. It is a 21-acre open-air living history museum located in the heart of Pinellas County. The natural pine and palmetto landscape is home to some of Pinellas County’s most historic buildings.

More than 31 historic structures and features, some dating back to the 19th century, include a school, church, sponge warehouse, firehouse, railroad depot and store, as well as a variety of historic homes.
