Have you ever had one of those weekends that made you just wonder…where did it go?

Last week I attended the Vintage Fair that was hosted at Fresno State University.  I must say that the exhibits were amazing.

Last night I got to experience The Big Fresno Fair.  It was a great time.  We actually caught a concert of Christian Artist Michael W. Smith.  I thought his performance was okay but I was used to more of his songs that were popular today and not the older ones.  He sung pretty well and the area was a nice atmosphere.  The temperature still felt pretty hot when we left about 10:15pm. 

The last time I went to The Big Fresno Fair I went with my pastor and the youth to see Third Day play.  Their performance was absolutely amazing.  The Michael W. Smith concert finished a little before 9pm and we wanted to see the rest of the fair.  All of the rides seemed too big for my son so we just walked down through the exhibits.  I took some photos with my iPhone and I wish I had brought my Canon Mark II but I am not sure what I was thinking. 

As we were leaving I noticed the photo exhibits and thought to myself, “it would be great to enter next year.”  I plan to.  All the work seemed pretty nice and some that was more amateur looking but I really didn’t get to see too many of the photos as the exhibit was closed.  Maybe I can catch some of the photos online.  I will have to research that.

It was a funny thing too….as we were leaving the area and jumping on to Highway 180 I noticed a car over on the left and I looked over and they were waving at me.  It looked like some former students of Firebaugh High School that remembered me when I worked there many years ago.  I am sorry if I didn’t know who you were but your face looked familiar.  It made us all laugh in the car because it reminded me of a story about how everyone knows “Bubba”.

If you went to The Big Fresno Fair and took some photos or would like to share your experience with us please do.  I love hearing stories and getting feedback from others. 

That is all for today but tomorrow I plan to join millions of others during Blog Action Day 2010.  125 different countries will be writing about the water issues in their communities and around the world.  If you have a blog and would like to join us then signup by visiting their website and get busy posting.

Thanks for reading!

This is a photo of some beautiful pink flowers that were hanging in a tree at The Japanese Gardens at Fresno’s Woodward Park.  I went there last year when I photographed some portraits for some clients.  I went ahead of them to get some great shots of the Gardens.  This place is amazing.  I took this photo with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT and my Canon EOS 28-135mm Lens. 

I recently added some widgets to my WordPress Blog and wanted to get your feedback on them.  The widgets allow you to subscribe to my RSS feeds and also subscribe to this page via Google.  Not sure who my readers are at this time but I plan on doing something special for you all.  I am curious though as to what my readers would enjoy most.  I plan on creating a post later today to share some ideas with you and hopefully get your feedback.

Thanks for reading.
