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.

Hike the AT? Yes, I Can Do That!

Daughter was all-set to begin hiking the Appalachian Trail! And while wearing her flip-flops, too! Husband had to be the voice of reason and practicality. Not today, honey. We'll come back when we're better prepared. He was an Eagle Scout back in the day and does know best. I admire my daughter's curiosity and spirit of exploration, though!

Nicely done picture of the family. I'm a little curious too about what's down that trail (ha ha).

Great shot. We certainly want our children to be curious and independent and unafraid, but at the same time, we have to hold them back for fear of their safety...

That's good parenting.

Of course, when they reach the ripe old age of 16 ... well, parents don't know nuttin!

Hope of Knoxville Daily Photo. Hope can squeeze images out of her Nikon Coolpix that will astonish you. The photographs of her kids capture the essence of childhood and a mother's love with the same poignancy and joy of the paintings of Mary Cassatt..."
