First I must confess that I finally broke down and replaced the Olympus C730 that has been the mainstay camera for my pictures for a number of years (too many it would seem). It was a 3.2 MP with 10x Optical Zoom that has done a pretty good job for my purposes however, 3.2 MP? come on Bob get with the times...
So starting today the pictures are being taken with a FugiFilm Finepix S2950, 14 MP with 18x Optical Zoom. Now I still need to work on some color balance but overall the pictures are amazingly better and the Panoramic option really takes some fun pictures and if nothing else check those out...
The big additions to the Fountain this week are the lights which have all been put into place and wired into their controllers but are being covered with boxes to protect them until covered with water...
The other is the new Inlaid Plaque which was created as a duplicate of the original...
More concrete has been poured, more pavers are being laid, more benches are showing up and it is starting to take shape. One area that will be popular, I am sure, is the new picnic area in the southwest corner near the entrance of the Park as the shade is just beautiful...
As well as a second shaded picnic area closer to the river...
Lots going on folks and if nothing else make sure you have cleared Saturday June 18, 2011 on your calendar and make plans to attend the Grand Reopening of Friendship Fountain and Park...
Until next time,
Bob
