Shot last spring, the weather still hadn’t warmed here and it looks to be another week or so before I can really get out to shoot wildflowers.

Loved this burst of color in this cone flower that I shot in my home in Madison Indiana.

Tornado Video

I have seen a few Tornadoes in my life and been very close to a couple big ones, I don’t usually post much about them here because I like to keep my content original. But my son who is a weather freak talked me into posting some for you…so here you go !!

 

2012 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

19,000 people fit into the new Barclays Center to see Jay-Z perform. This blog was viewed about 86,000 times in 2012. If it were a concert at the Barclays Center, it would take about 5 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

“Madison Indiana Chautauqua of the Arts Photos”

I thought maybe since I attended  the event I might share some photography from the weekend. The weather was perfect and another large crowd attended the event, many beautiful pieces of art were found all along the venue along with great food and live performers made the day great for the entire family.

The Chautauqua draws thousands of visitors from across the Midwest each year bringing with it an untold amount of revenue not only for the exhibitors but the local economy as well. It has also become somewhat of a family reunion for locals in the Madison Indiana area, many  have moved on to other jobs, retirement and school but every September a large number of our former residents seem to make their way back to their home to take in the beautiful display of Art and a chance to catch up with family and friends !!

So if you get a chance late next September try stopping by for a visit or a reunion and also take in the beautiful Art that graces the tree lined streets of Madison Indiana’s Chautauqua of the Arts. The dates for next year are September 28 & 29.
