After recently purchasing iPhones (Verizon, of course!), Kristin and I have been experimenting with photography apps left and right.

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks here in Southeast Missouri, but Mississippi River flood waters seem to be receding (at least temporarily) in Cape Girardeau’s Red Star District, as well as Cape Rock Park. According to Red Star District resident Peggy Benaivdz, the Mississippi River […]
