Fickle Weather

Tennessee Weather No One Knows!!

I have lived in Tennessee all of my life and one thing you can count on is the weather is never going to be the same from one weekend to another. Just two weeks ago I went camping and the temps got down into the low thirties that night and dropped down to 31 degrees at daybreak.

Cold Weather

Fast forward two weeks and headed out again and check the forecast as you should before you head out yet going to be another beautiful weekend with one exception lows in the 50s, so once again adjust gear for the temps and be ready for much warmer weather.

Warm Weather

The most important thing is to have the gear for the weather, a warmer sleeping bag for cold weather, and a cooler sleeping bag for warm weather. Also, go from layers of clothing to a lot fewer layers of clothing. You even can change your food between the two campouts. When it is cold you want foods that will warm the body like chili or a stew. In warm weather, I am more likely to fix a burger or something liter like fajitas. So always planing my sleeping bag, clothes, and food too the weather. Bring it on Tennessee, I got you either way.

Can’t Do it!!

So, on Sunday I had lunch with Bill discussing our next off-road adventure. So I grabbed my Sony with hopes of doing a little landscape photography with it on the way back home, one of the perks of living near the lake is the lake. So below are the land/waterscape photos I shot. Enjoy

Am I a Sony Boy Now??

Let me start with no I am not converting from my beloved Canons to Sony, but I found something interesting about Sony’s first digital camera. There is a lot of Monilota in this bad boy. So after reading up on these cameras and hearing how robust they are and even to this day can shoot some really good pictures. I hopped on the old eBay and searched for one. Now you can find good deals on these from online retailers and you are taking a chance on whether this is good or not and do what I did. So over the next few months, I will be shooting with this camera and doing my thing with it. So stay tuned. Below I will be dropping some of my early pics from the A100.
