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.

I remember playing on the swings when I was about that age!
The Three Rivers Rambler and other Knox County activities are free to Knox County residents at certain times during the year. I'll look for a link about that. Earlier this year, I took a trip on the Star of Knoxville on the free day.
Yes, the farmers market is at Laurel Church of Christ on Kingston Pike every Tuesday and Friday, 3-6p each day.

Thanks, MyKnoxville! Thanks for the info on The Three Rivers Rambler and the Star of Knoxville. I've never heard about the free day for Knox Co. residents. I would be very interested in learning more about this! Also, thanks for the info on the Farmers Market at Laurel Church of Christ. Unfortunately, I work during those hours and then have to rush to pick up the kids at daycare and probably wouldn't have a chance to check it out. Maybe someday....

I agree with kate -- this is a GREAT photograph. The structure of those buildings juxtaposed against that darling girl in her pink jacket. WOW!

This is the joy of childhood perfectly captured.
