Morning Walk In The Fall

Morning walk at Paris Landing before the rain moved in. Often times, folks are so busy looking at our beautiful Kentucky Lake, they forget the woods are nice too.

Something A Little Different / Senior Photo Shoot At Old Bridge

By Brian Killian

My classmate from high school commented jokingly on a post wishing us to photograph her daughters seniors portraits. Just so happened we would be vacationing in the area soon. It would be my pleasure to photograph her gorgeous daughter. Jan was always available when I wanted to practice my camera skills back in the day. These are a few of my favorites from her session last week in Tennessee. 

Thanks Lisa Green for salvaging the old bridge.

Tulip Boat In Summer Time

The Tulip Boat in all it's Summer glory.

Thank you Kathi Stoffel for the photo.

The Fish Photo

I don't post a lot of fish photos on this website.  I would rather post pretty views of the lake, scenery and flowers.  But I feel a responsibility to post one every now and then - since this is a fishing community.

So, my buddy Sharon Seaton was going out fishing this morning with her husband.  I said, "Send me a photo of a fish."

This is what she sends me.

She labeled it, "Kentucky Lake's Eiffel Tower."  I usually avoid taking photos of these TVA towers on our Lake and frequently remove them with PhotoShop.  Not Sharon,  she just embraces them and tries to convince us they are Eiffel Towers. 
Not satisfied, I texted her back.  Thanked her and said, "fish" as a reminder of our original objective.
So she sends me this.

I like this much better.  Not only does it meet my annual quota for "fish photos" but I get to look at David Seaton's rather nice legs and the Eiffel Tower.

  

Surprise!!

The Surprise Lilies are blooming at Paris Landing.

Thanks Cindy Rice for the photos.

A new Place To Stay At Paris Landing

Found a new place to stay at Paris Landing.  Went by today and met the owner, Jan Maupin, who has a long history with Paris Landing. (More about that later.)

I hope you will visit their Facebook page at Wild Goose Chase to see more photos and share with friends who will be visiting Paris Landing. 

Outdoor Living On The Lake

Over the years I've posted a lot of photos from this property overlooking Kentucky Lake.  It belongs to a friend of mine, Kathi Stofel.  Kathi takes her interior decorating skills outside to create interesting and cozy outdoor living areas.

A dining area for six on a deck feels like it's in the tree tops.  

A narrow side yard was turned into paved room with a pergola and retaining walls for plants.  The walls are just tall enough to sit on.

One end of the side yard has a secluded niche complete with a small table, wall art and even a mirror.

   You have to pay attention. Kathi has all sorts of interesting decorating touches. 

I love a well decorated yard that shows off the unique lifestyle of living at the lake.  I hope this serves as inspiration for you.
