But what I’ve failed to communicate thus far, is the intangible side of things – my thoughts and feelings. After reading my posts, several friends have commented about how much fun this experience must have been.
Showtime had arrived at the Minnesota State Fair. The seats were filling up. The weather was perfect. Chris rolled the pre-recorded audio montage opener and the band members began taking the stage. At the conclusion of the short intro piece, guitarist Dan Agee seamlessly launched into the pick-up notes for one of Joe’s signature tunes, “Let’s Get Drunk and Fight”,
After arriving in Nashville on Sunday morning, Chris and I headed to Panera to get fueled up for the moving activities of the day.

Well, it’s that time of year again. I’m trying to narrow down my selections for entry into the Celebrating Nature Through Photography photo contest. I’ve whittled it down to seven images so far, and may thin the herd a bit more before the deadline. But for now, here are the lucky pixels. Let me know which are your faves.
I was just asked by the marketing folks at the Metroparks of the Toledo Area for permission to use one of my award-winning images from last year’s Celebrating Nature Through Photography contest.
