This is Black Onyx who won the Spiral Stakes at Turfway Park. This gave Black Onyx 50 points towards the Kentucky Derby. So you will probably see this horse at Churchill Downs in May.

Start of the 2013 Bourbonette Oaks at Turfway Park in Florence, Kentucky. I particularly like the horse at the end who is almost jumping out of the starting gate.

While we were eating at the Aquarium Restaurant in Nashville, Tennessee I had my 70-200 mm lens on and was able to take pictures of the fish swimming by from my table. 

This was my favorite picture that I took because of bright vibrant yellow color on this little guy.

There are a lot of cool things to see inside of the Parthenon in Nashville, Tennessee.

These statues are plaster replicas of the Parthenon Marbles found in the Naos and are direct casts of the original sculptures which adorned the pediments of the Athenian Parthenon, dating back to 438 B.C. The originals of these powerful fragments are housed in the British Museum in London.

I thought the lighting on these statues was beautiful and had to capture it.

On my recent trip to Nashville, Tennessee the first place we visited was the Parthenon in Centennial Park. The Parthenon in Nashville is a full scale replica of the original just as it was in ancient Greece.

I thought that the texture of the columns and the light shinning between each one made for a beautiful black and white photo.
