Picture of the Day in Northwest Arkansas

[strmchsr77]

Some more shots from the first night of Lights of the Ozarks. Had to get a few razorback shots. The Razorbug was out as well.

Thanks for the pics Rod, I was down there as well watching the parade from the Bank of America condos. I wish I could afford one of those, what a great way to see the lights.

Thanks. I started off closer to the Town Center but moved up to the condos before the parade was over. Yeah certainly nice condos, wish I could afford one as well.

Of course I got a new lens and it was dark and cloudy just about the whole day. But at least I was able to get out and take a few pics at sunset. Here's Old Main at sunset.

Another sunset pic, this time from East Mtn looking west/southwest to Hwy 62.

[Mith242]

One more sunset pic. Once again looking west-southwest over south Fayetteville.

Very nice shot. I believe it's a Red-bellied Woodpecker. I saw a Pileated Woodpecker at Lake Fayetteville a couple of weeks ago. I took a few pics but wasn't able to get too close to it before some people scared it away. If you don't mind me asking what kind of camera do you have?

[jim9251]

Canon PowerShot S3IS. I love this camera!

Ah, my previous camera was the S2 IS. Yeah they really are nice cameras. I think they just released an S5. As nice as my S2 was these newer models seem even nicer.

Yeah I didn't have a chance to take pics before work and by the time I was off work it was mainly gone.

I'll eventually post this over in the development topic but I thought I'd post this pic here first. The Lofts at Underwood Plaza at night.

[jim9251]

I'm gonna have to get out and take some night photos. Those are great.

Thanks, it's not too hard, just have to have a tripod. The one I have no isn't even that great.

Thanks for the pictures guys. I think that Fayetteville ended up with more snow than Tulsa did.

Wow, I figured you got at least as much as we did.

[Mith242]

It's a bit small, but I liked having all the stars in the pics. But anyway here's Marlon Blackwell's Keenan Towerhouse at night.

[jim9251]

Since it finally stopped raining, the sun came out and it's a pretty Saturday, I took a photo of a pear tree I have blooming in my backyard.

[Mith242]

Nice shot Jim. A lot of the pears I see around the city seem to have already lost their blooms.

[Mith242]

Checked out the Razorback Spring Practice today. Thought I'd post a pic here. I put a few more in the Razorback topic. The rest can be viewed on my flickr account.

While taking pics of developments going on in Fayetteville I caught some of the Joe Martine Stage Race going on down in downtown Fayetteville.

Great pics Rod! Very professional looking... maybe even better! I especially like the way you not only caught the racers, but also some very modern downtown elements. I especially like this pic because of the blurred group of bystanders in the background and the sharp edges of the building behind them. What building is that, btw?

Thanks. I saw some professional photographers not too far from where I was. I think they were with the newspapers. I wish I had payed more attention to that building. I'm not positive but there's a Loafin' Joe's in that area, I think it might be that. I'm not sure what the building used to be before they moved in.

[Mith242]

I'm hoping to get this topic going a bit again. I'm eventually going to post some other pics. But I'm going to start off with one I've already posted in another topic. I liked how this one came out despite the lighting.

Gorgeous. I only wish the Legacy exterior finish was as beautiful as this.

I agree with you there. I don't hate the Legacy like some, but it's a lot easier to get excited about the Underwood Lofts than the Legacy. I think originally the Legacy was going to be a nicer development but with rising construction costs I think Barber ended up going cheap and it sorta shows.
