I really should have learned my lesson after my trip to the zoo. This time I did not get the advance warning of watching a school bus pull up in front of the Parthenon at Centennial Park; the third graders all just appeared out of nowhere. I guess it says something that I am spending my free time the same way stay-at-home moms and school field trips do.

I took quite a few pictures of whatever looked like an interesting shot. When I arrived home to upload them, Flickr informed me that I had hit my 200 picture quota for the Photostream. It is bad enough they cap your uploads per month, but why on earth bother to cap the number of photos available for browsing when storage space costs pennies compared to what it did 10 years ago? I still prefer to use a service rather than self-hosting, but I might take some time to research other options.

Also, I learned that you can go in to the art gallery, but cannot take pictures of any of the exhibits. You can go upstairs and take pictures of Athena and those exhibits, but not the paintings and historic photographs. They are currently running an exhibit chronicling the Katrina disaster in 2005. Powerful stuff.

Samantha and I spent a bit of time today at the Tennessee Arts & Crafts Fair at Centennial Park. Our somewhat insular routines mean that we spend a couple of hours at a time on our respective computers reading various things on the Internet, so getting out of the apartment is held at a premium.

It was quite a packed event with parking spaces hard to come by, and pedestrians that did not bother to look both ways before crossing taking their lives into their own hands. I took a couple of pictures with my cell phone because I can never seem to remember to grab our camera when we head out to such events.
