A visit to Bass Pro Shop
This Bass Pro Shop in Springfield is the home of the chain of sporting goods stores and is essentially Disneyland for most of the guys with me out here. We ate lunch at a restaurant inside and then walked around a bit inside a store that one could almost call an amusement park. Live animals, giant aquariums, an alligator…not to mention every single thing in the world you could possibly need for outdoors and sporting goods. I snapped a few photos…nothing amazing here, just bored while I wait on others to get done with their work.
Some Springfield photos
So Springfield has been fun so far, but today got a little boring. Last night we had a major dinner with one of the sales managers and the tab had to have been over $500. A great little Italian place, we had a three-course meal and all of it was so unbelievably good, it’s impossible to describe it. But like I said, today was a bit boring. Most of the testing on my stuff is done and the rest is more sitting around and supporting anything that comes up. Thankfully, I took advantage of the downtime to leave the warehouse [...]
Scenes from the sky
I’m in Springfield, Missouri this week for work, which is making for very long days. Not only am I far away from home and missing Jina and Lyla, but for the most part I’m hanging with “strangers” for almost 12 hours a day, including breakfast, work, lunch, work and dinner. Most people know I like to keep to myself when I travel, so I can read, write and do whatever, so this has been tough so far (and it’s only Tuesday afternoon!). So to break up the monotony of my day, I’m taking a break while everyone else scurries about to [...]
Some recent random photos
I take a lot of weather photos and pictures of family, but I’m also branching off into whatever else I find interesting. This website I joined (my profile right here) constantly challenges people to photograph different themes, like Decay, or Halloween, Nostalgia, etc. That motivates me to think more and look for stuff to shoot that I wouldn’t ordinarily go after.
Sunday sunset photos
I love to take sunrise and sunset photos, but usually I need clouds to motivate me. Without them, the scene could look like any other day, but with them…you can a unique look and feel that can’t ever be replicated. We finally had some clouds in the sky Sunday night after around 4-5 days of complete and utter sunshine. Ick! I trekked west on Riggs and landed just on the other side of I-10, and then took some shots around the fountain just when Sun Lakes begins. Hope you enjoy!
