SHARK! – Snapshot of the Day, No. 273

We went to the IMAX Theatre tonight for date night and saw, “Great White Shark.” (We had originally planned to go to the Tennessee Aquarium as well, but it just was not in the cards today. We had a lot of obstacles. We’ll try to go sometime next week.) But anyway, the show was great.Continue reading “SHARK! – Snapshot of the Day, No. 273”

Sliced Pomegranate – Snapshot of the Day, No. 272

I took the day off today to clean the house. Yes, I’ve done it for years. I actually LOVE to clean. It is therapeutic to me. Sick, I know. But anyway, I stopped long enough to slice one of my pomegranates to get this shot. Now I’m too tired to write anything else. And myContinue reading “Sliced Pomegranate – Snapshot of the Day, No. 272”

The Grainery Next Door – Snapshot of the Day, No. 271

I notice I’m on an architecture kick now. Hmm. I’ll have to make a conscious effort to not do that tomorrow. But anyway, this is the grainery next to the newspaper. I have no idea the name of it. But I like the silos – until they catch on fire. When that happens, we allContinue reading “The Grainery Next Door – Snapshot of the Day, No. 271”

Mausoleum Ivy – Snapshot of the Day, No. 270

Poison ivy grows on a mausoleum in the Forest Hills Cemetery in Chattanooga. It’s a very old cemetery, and there are a lot of locally famous people buried there. The primary reason I went there to shoot a photo was because there is a statue of a woman there that looks just like me. It’sContinue reading “Mausoleum Ivy – Snapshot of the Day, No. 270”

Yesterday and Today, Snapshot of the Day, No. 269

This is an exterior wall of the former Ross Hotel in downtown Chattanooga. It is currently up for sale if anyone is interested. But the bottom portion of it used to contain one of our old stomping grounds called, “Yesterday’s.” That was over 30 years ago. Argh. Seems like…..well, yesterday. I had no idea it usedContinue reading “Yesterday and Today, Snapshot of the Day, No. 269”

The Real Thing, Backwards – Snapshot of the Day, No. 268

I woke up early with a headache this morning, so I decided to explore the settings of my new iphone upgrade. I mostly played around with the camera settings. I’m trying my hand at art photography again. Not bad, but I think I’ll stick with the 35mm.

There Are No Words – Snapshot of the Day, No. 267

I apologize for the same subject two days in a row – but this one HAD to be posted. I was working in the yard earlier today when I looked up and saw this scene. My first thought was, “What on earth is he looking at?” My second thought was: Where’s my camera? But IContinue reading “There Are No Words – Snapshot of the Day, No. 267”

Dim Bulb – Snapshot of the Day, No. 266

Actually, he’s not a “dim bulb,” at all. Murray is quite smart. He just looks dumb here. He had surgery on his eye and hip last week, so today was the day to get the stitches out….and to take off his lamp shade – or “Crown,” as we call it. He was waiting Not SoContinue reading “Dim Bulb – Snapshot of the Day, No. 266”

Scenes From a Diner – Snapshot of the Day, No. 265

This is the window from the Cherry Street Diner – formally the original Krystal Building in downtown Chattanooga. The soldier eating by himself bothered me a bit. Perhaps he was waiting on someone.

Pipes – Snapshot of the Day, No. 264

One of the storefronts I have photographed for this project – Buckle Co. – has bitten the dust. So, the new owners / tenants are renovating it. Or maybe Buckle Co. is renovating. I do not know. I also don’t know what the deal is with these pipe elbows. Why? How many turns will theContinue reading “Pipes – Snapshot of the Day, No. 264”
