Skylights – Snapshot of the Day, No. 262

I had to go to the mailbox today, which is outside of the newspaper where I work, and decided to take the long way back inside. I could not help but notice what a gorgeous day it was, so I snapped this image as I made my way back in. Good thing, too. I probablyContinue reading “Skylights – Snapshot of the Day, No. 262”

Headless Elvis – Snapshot of the Day, No. 261

The question is: Was this Elvis statue purchased without a head?…. or did it get broken after it was bought? And why is it still being proudly displayed? Does it make it more valuable without the head? Hmmmm. I HAD to take this photo. I cannot stop laughing at the microphone held up to aContinue reading “Headless Elvis – Snapshot of the Day, No. 261”

Picnic Flowers – Snapshot of the Day, No. 260

Well, we didn’t actually go on a picnic. We just ate lunch out on the deck. But I like to call it going on a picnic. Since we live close to the Tennessee River, we sometimes see really cool animals. Today we saw an eagle flying over our heads. I ran to get my binoculars;Continue reading “Picnic Flowers – Snapshot of the Day, No. 260”

Jars of Sunshine – Snapshot of the Day, No. 258

I was BUSY today at work. In fact, I’m still at work. But, I did manage to sneak out and run to the Barn again today. (Yes, I did clock out first.) I bought some more flowers for the yard which is serious need of help. But the Barn also give me a chance toContinue reading “Jars of Sunshine – Snapshot of the Day, No. 258”

Sit-in Mural – Snapshot of the Day, No. 257

Right around the corner from the newspaper is a great place to eat called, Champy’s. It is known for its great fried chicken and eclectic artwork inside and out. It also has a wonderful mural painted on the outside wall commemorating the Chattanooga sit-ins in 1960 called, “We Shall Not Be Moved.” I shot thisContinue reading “Sit-in Mural – Snapshot of the Day, No. 257”

Private Gardens and such – Snapshot of the Day, No. 256

Joe and I met at the Greenway after work today to get a walk in. This is the garden they tend to. I honestly don’t know anything about it, but I’m assuming the food harvested from it goes to charity. Today I decided to do something a little different for a change. I decided toContinue reading “Private Gardens and such – Snapshot of the Day, No. 256”

Remembering Hank – Snapshot of the Day, No. 255

This is Hank. He was a fixture at the Warner Park Zoo, now known as the Chattanooga Zoo, for most of his life. When the zoo renovated several years ago, the main gate, created by Siskin Steel and Supply Co., featured several of the animals housed there. This is Hank’s portrait. He is definitely the most famousContinue reading “Remembering Hank – Snapshot of the Day, No. 255”

Take Me Home! – Snapshot of the Day, No. 254

Ok. I totally cheated on this one. But I have a good excuse. Who can take just one photo of a bunch of puppies? Plus, they are such wiggle worms, it’s hard to catch them at the right moment with a cell camera. I had to go to PetSmart today to pick up something forContinue reading “Take Me Home! – Snapshot of the Day, No. 254”
