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.

Walking to Port Orleans ~ Riverside

Our family walked from the French Quarter Resort to the Port Orleans ~ Riverside Resort to swim in their pool located on Ol' Man Island. The walk over was relaxing with beautiful sights all around us. Once again, I walked behind, snapping photos as I went along. My husband and son are ahead on the walkway ....while daughter chose to walk through the grass.

Photo taken October 2007.

Our home during December 12-24, 2008, will be at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida (near Orlando). During this time, I will post some of my favorite photos from previous vacations to Walt Disney World (our family's favorite vacation destination).

I wish it was this warm right now! You really are trailing WAY behind! My husband always has a fit when I get too far behind, taking pictures. He's worried I'll get lost I guess lol.

Isn't Disneyworld great to get kids walking? Usually, kids poop out when out walking, but at DW, they're having so much fun, it's another story - the parents poop out.

Excellent shot. Love the perspective and how that path leads you right into the image.

"With gratitude and great pleasure I would like to pass the award to these photography bloggers:

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..."
