In a prior post titled “A rant with a twist“, I had talked about a park in Independence. I have visit George Owens Nature Park several times before mostly for the birds that are attracted to the feeding stations that are placed around the building.   Now, before I go on.  I think it would be good to fill you in on a little history here.

George Owens Nature Park is located at 1601 S. Speck Rd., Independence Mo. 64057 The park consist of 86 acres of beautiful forest with lakes, hiking trails and wildlife.  It includes Six hiking trails, two fishing lakes.  Organized group campground, Family Picnic area, Nature Center, Rain Gardens and a Pavilion.

For those of you have visited and say this is a boring park, you are sadly mistaken or you truly do not really understand what enjoying nature is all about.  Perhaps a theme park is better suited to your desires.

Some of the upcoming events this park has to offer are Winter Hikes, Groundhog Day Celebration, Bluebird House Class etc. For more information please visit the website at http://www.ci.independence.mo.us/parksandrec/Owens.aspx.

Well, I guess your wondering why I haven’t posted something for sometime.   Let me first say, it’s not because I have been doing something fun.   That’s for sure.   So, let just say I have been planning, modifying, reading, studying and changing things up for the new year.  I have finally found the time to write something, so hear I am full of information and a few stories to share.  Before I start though or forget, Happy New Year to everyone.

I’m sure everyone is going to be spending time with family this Holiday for Thanksgiving.  Like many of you I have been busy keeping up with the everyday chores, shopping finding the best deals for family and friends.  I just want to take a few moments to remind you that shipping from CD Photocare is free for all orders over $60 for this month of November.  If your not sure what to get family members this year, think about Gift Vouchers from CD Photocare. Gift Vouchers are a wonderful way to say thank you, plus they can be used for anything from a portrait session to one of kind fine art from landscapes to animals in the Studio Art section of the website.   Here is quick link to CD Photocare Gift Vouchers.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

In the great world of the internet you would think one would write more, but this is not the case for me.  To many other things have been going on. To much on the list of things to do. To many things distracting my attention from my true love, which of course is photography.  So let’s start by saying this is my first post since August. Yes, I know!  I’m not keeping up.  It’s my first post for October for this year and hopefully not my last for this month.   Let’s get started shall we. continue reading…
