Knoxville Daily Photo will post one photo per day taken from the Knoxville/Knox County, Tennessee area. Knoxville is the city of my birth, the place where I work, and the largest city near our hometown. It's a wonderful community in which to raise our family. It's really a beautiful place . . . . at least I think so.

I am not a professional photographer; I call myself a point & shoot photographer. I have had a genuine love for and interest in photography since childhood. My camera is a Nikon Coolpix S600 ~ which I love for many reasons that I won't list here. Sometimes I use my old camera which is a Nikon Coolpix 5900.

Photography is something that I enjoy immensely. My photographs & albums are treasured above all other material things I own. The memories that are captured and preserved through my camera are so precious.

I am glad that I have discovered City Daily Photo and started a photo blog. It's an honor to share my little corner of the world with those who find themselves here. Enjoy looking around my blog, and welcome to all who visit.

Fountain ~ Riverview Tower Plaza

Daughter was in awe of this fountain that I walk by frequently without a second glance. To be able to see the world through the eyes of a child is a wonderful gift, indeed.

Nice shot, she has no worries. My eyes may look at the fountain, but my brain would be someplace else.

elle hésite, OUI / NON je vais dans la fontaine ? l'eau est comme le feu, elle hypnotise les gens. belle photo.

She hesitated, YES / NO I go to the fountain? water is like fire, it hypnotized people. beautiful picture.

I'm with your little baby girl! Fountains still mesmerize me, too. My daughter just loves to throw pennies in fountains to make wishes. She's only 3 so her wishes are sometimes hilarious. "I want to fly! I want to turn into the moon! I want to get in the fountain!" Here's to childhood!

Another great shot, Hope.
