I never get tired of taking photos underwater. My first underwater camera was a 12 megapixel Olympus Stylus Tough 3000. I had the green one. It was the best thing to ever happen to my family's beach vacations and hiking trips. I could carry it around without the fear of it breaking if I got it wet or dropped it onto a hard surface. It took some really great shots over the years, but unfortunately I didn't close the battery/SD card hatch properly one of the last times I was at the beach and water seeped in- zapping it of all power. 
I recently got a soft-shell underwater camera case for my DSLR. I found this Bingo waterproof case on Amazon for about $30. The ultimate goal was to be able to fully submerge my Nikon D3000 in the water to take photos, I was skeptical at first but became more comfortable after testing it out and watching reviews of the case on Youtube. Here are some shots I took while at the beach a few weeks ago. *The underwater shots of course were taken while my camera was in the Bingo waterproof case, but some of the above water shots were taken without the case (if I kept the case on while using the camera above water the photos would have spots and smudges from where salt water dried on the outside of the case- which you can see in a couple photos). 
Hope you all are having a great summer so far!
be humble always
Act justly.
Love mercy.
Walk humbly.

As I walked down the narrow streets of Bijwasan in the suburbs of Delhi, I saw two children standing near the entrance of a home. 2011
summer is upon us
The weather in middle Tennessee is infamously known for being unpredictable. In April you can find temperatures ranging as low as the 30s one day and as high as the 70s or 80s the next week.
It's mid-May and the mother nature has finally made up her mind. We've had some consistently warm days, and I think they are here to stay!
I can't wait to spend this summer kayaking the rivers, biking the roads, and hiking the trails. Oh, and of course eating as much 'fresh' pineapple as my stomach can handle.
