“Every failure is a step to success.” – William Whewell

When we go on vacation my wife indulges me on my photography adventures. I know it’s not her favorite thing in the world to go drive and watch me snap pictures of every great view or sight I come across. However, she does it anyways. I guess that’s when you know someone loves you, they put up with your all of your quirky habits.

Last December, we spent the week in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I have just walked over to where the view of the mountains was, and I was snapping photos of how the fog had just taken over the entire area. I hung out there for a while, and my wide told me we should drive down the mountain to check out some stuff. She brought me to a stream on the side of the road. It had been raining most of the previous day, and this little stream was flowing. There were some beautiful views that I was able to take photos. It always amazes how some of my favorite photos I take are of somewhere close to where I live, or where I am staying at.
I too am drawn to the rivers and streams. I am fortunate to live within 20 miles of several Missouri Ozark streams. If you ever vacation in Southeast Missouri I can put you on some beautiful streams.

Couple that with her being willing to ask about lenses she finds, it seems she’s secretly encouraging you to shoot more often!

Most of my photos come from close to home, too. There is so much out there if you’re looking.
