Kayaking the Estero River

On August 16th, I took my wife kayaking and met up with a friend for a Saturday afternoon paddle on the Estero River in Estero, Florida. We were hoping to see some manatee, but didn't have any luck that day.

New Look

I have change the look of this blog so that the background is black. I think it makes a lot of the pictures stand out more.

Plus, I have recently created a few more blogs specific to different genres of my photography. They are listed in the sidebar, but I'll put the links here also. The newest sites are:

Troy's Lock Project
Troy's Bird Photos
Troy's Squared Circles
Troy's Abstracts

I have a few more photo blogs planned, but I'll start those later. Have a great day!

Nature behind the Hilton

Early in the morning, I took a walk behind the Hilton in Estero, Florida. Here are some of the nature shots from that walk.

Estero Hilton Fountain

I took a few pictures of the fountain area behind the Hilton in Estero, Florida, before the fountain was turned on for the day. Then I took a few more pictures later after the fountain was turned on.

Illustration Friday: Sail

I am actually a week late. SAIL was the theme for last week. This week is "DETACH," but I don't feel like sketching anything for that topic.

Computer Crashed

I am bummed!! My computer crashed a few nights ago and I had to buy a new computer. The worst part about the whole ordeal is that I lost all of my photography from the last six months. Just two days before the crash, I told myself that I needed to save my photographs onto other media. I wasn't smart enough to save my photos on a regular basis. This will teach me! There is still a chance that I will be able to recover the hard drive, but until then, all I have left from the last six months are the low resolution photographs that I have posted here and on Flickr.
