Nashville Nature Photographer: Chihuly Cheekwood

This past weekend I visited the Cheekwood here in Nashville to check out the Chihuly exhibit.  It is beautiful!  The afternoon was hot with an okay breeze so I did not see everything.  My plan is to return for a Chihuly night to get photos in the late afternoon light and at night when the sculptures are illuminated.

Nashville Pet Photographer: Singing Cat

Meet Nibbles.  Nibbles came to our neighborhood last year looking for a family to love him.  He found a few nice people on one street block who fed him, named him and welcomed him on their porch but no one really claimed him as part of their family.  Nibbles was a skinny, not neutered, whinny kitty.   Then one day he took a trip to another street block, this time by the lake where birds, raccoons and ground hogs abound. He happened upon a really nice lady who took him in, gave him shelter, a safe place, took him to the vet where it was found he had worms.  This explained why he ate so much and never gained weight.  She had him neutered and now Nibbles is relaxed, enjoys the air conditioning in the hot summer and the deck in the cooler weather.  He has also learned to sing.  Well, it may not sound like singing to the human ear but he for sure gets out there and belts a tune that maybe the raccoons understand or the birds or the groundhogs, not sure.  The one thing I am sure about is this kitty is very happy and is cute as a button!

Nashville Nature Photographer: The Secret Life of the Southern Magnolia

The magnolia trees are gorgeous this year full of more blooms than I have seen in years.   Each bloom is like it’s own little secret world.  The scent of the magnolia fills the air of the village.

Chasing rainbows…. while this is a faint rainbow, one can see where it begins and ends on Old Hickory Lake.
