I just got back home form a two day journey to Bloomington, Indiana to visit with my dear friends Jim and Sue Haverstock, to celebrate her birthday, and give a program for their camera club, it was a blast! \u00a0One of the things I promised myself for “after Nikon” was more time with family and friends, and this was a great way to start that personal promise. \u00a0Jim and Sue are great friends, and wonderful photographers! \u00a0I had the pleasure of attending their gallery showing with Kendall Reeve’s at his Gallery, it was terrific, all are excellent shooters! \u00a0I also enjoyed seeing Kendall again, a great guy, new father, and runs a commercial photography business in Bloomington, and a; great Gallery, if you are ever in Bloomington you need to check it out! \u00a0Here is a link: \u00a0\u00a0http:\/\/spectrumstudioinc.com\/<\/p>\n

Yesterday Jim and Sue took me and Jeff to Story, Indiana where the Story Inn and Restaurant can be found. I had a blast shooting around the property there. \u00a0The shots below are some of my favorites of the take. \u00a0Before I share them, I have to say the Bloomington Camera Club was fantastic, really nice people, and very warm, and inviting. \u00a0We had a lot of fun talking about what we all really love, our photography, all-in-all, a great night! \u00a0I think I’m going to like this retirement thing, but I’m not slowing down any!<\/p>\n

We had a wonderful time, and I am looking forward to my next trip up to that region! \u00a0Thinking seriously about a Brown County Fall event maybe in 2014!!<\/p>\n
