I haven't focused too much on photography the last few years, but I dug through my pictures and between all the shots of dinners, cats and Army stuff, I pulled out some Cincinnati-related shots.  Maybe I'll do a separate Army-related thread at some point…

 

THIS is America - walking through the riverfront parks during Gay Pride events, and seeing Cincinnatus wearing a floral lei, big ol' flag in the background - I love this picture:

 

Representin' for The Walnut:

 

Cleveland-based nieces playing in the new Smale Park fountain:

 

Ah, summer:

 

Pete for the Hall!

 

Sunrise over the river, with a particularly nice layer of fog/cloud:

 

Touring Metropole's rooftop deck - this was just a couple weeks before it opened:

 

Another from the deck:

 

In the Army, when someone is all jacked up and you want to express that without using actual profanity (not often I don't want to use profanity, but it happens), you can say they look like a soup sandwich.  Which is why I LOVED this display board and its basically invisible comma:

 

We got amazing seats to a Reds game, but the most amazing part was that I managed to get my wife down there in time for batting practice.  Unfortunately, I think they lost...

 

Finally got an Ohio state flag this year:

 

We seem to be part of the Great Deer Expressway over here near Eden Park - this happens pretty frequently:

 

The Zebra Bathroom at Boca:

 

Some scotch at Nicholson's:

 

The wine cellar at Sotto:

 

I joined the American Legion post up in Reading - this is part of the Arlington Heights, Lockland and Reading Memorial Day Parade:

 

Another Reds game, again with awesome seats from a friend - this is a plaza right next to the press box.  Another loss...

 

Diner En Blanc:

 

Later that evening:

 

Football season - this was at the Green Bay game, as you can probably tell from the crowd, and it featured TBDBITL for pre-game and halftime:

 

Yeah, this was pretty awesome:

 

This was when the Moving Wall (http://www.themovingwall.org) came through Cincinnati last fall - the local VFWs and Legion posts kept a 24-hour vigil while it was here at Union Terminal, so I got to spend some quality time with it on a very rainy night.  It started to dry out by morning:

 

Bengals/Colts - this time it was sooooooo cold…great seats, though!

 

Another sunrise over the river:

 

And finally, sunrise over the Victory Parkway Bridge:

 

Glad to see you're still around - thank you for your service and the great pics!

I miss your cooking!!!
