Les Jones: Friday in Nashville

Travel > Friday in Nashville

We slept late today and had a great brunch at a deli around the corner called Noshville. Then we went to the Nashville Zoo where I snapped these macaws. I got some great pictures of the meerkats, too. Cute little guys. I'll post those some time later.

We're about to head out the door to the blogger meetup at the Gaylord Entertainment Center. Look forward to meeting everyone.

There are "Food for Thought" dinners tomorrow night after the conference. Melissa and I signed up for Henry Copeland's dinner at Granite Falls, which is also right around the corner. Copeland - the founder of BlogAds - is someone I've emailed back and forth, and he responded to some of my skepticism about blog advertising in a very professional way. Looking forward to meeting him.

Wow, gorgeous! Those are the rare and endangered hyacinthine macaw. That is an astonishing picture .. could I use that for my reader photoblog feature that I have on my weekly "Birds in the News" blog story (every Friday)? If so, please email me and we can work out the details.

Sure thing. I've emailed you the uncropped version of this picture and another one of the same birds.

Oh wow, they're beautiful! Those hyacinths sure are striking!
