Game Day – Snapshot of the Day, No. 253

We spent the day at Joe’s parents’ house watching SEC football all day long. (Alabama won – Roll Tide!) I stole away a moment between games and found these mushrooms down by the river. They were hidden, so I was excited when I discovered them.

Flying Stars – Snapshot of the Day, No. 252

I actually got a chance to take a lunch break at work today – which is odd being Friday – but I got to leave the building nonetheless. Being fall plantin’ time, I naturally drove to the Barn Nursery to pick up some pansies and mums for our yard. I’m not sure the technical termContinue reading “Flying Stars – Snapshot of the Day, No. 252”

CLOSED – Snapshot of the Day, No. 251

Where to begin. I’m not sure the actual name of this establishment. It’s a Bait / Barber shop. (The barber shop portion is not shown) And I don’t know if the sign means they are out of business, or just closed for the day. It did not look very friendly or inviting, so I didContinue reading “CLOSED – Snapshot of the Day, No. 251”

The Bridge – Snapshot of the Day, No. 250

I’ve been waiting for several years to capture this railroad bridge in the fog. I almost did it this morning, but I don’t think it is quite there yet. I’ll keep trying. This bridge is over the Tennessee River near the Chickamauga Dam. A TVA project back during the Depression.

EZ Pawn – Snapshot of the Day, No. 249

Inspired by yesterday’s photo, I decided to shoot something on the edgier side of town today. So when I got the chance, I drove to Rossville Boulevard to see what I could find. It’s notorious for used car lots, pawn shops and adult bookstores. I was not looking for anything that was worth a documentary.Continue reading “EZ Pawn – Snapshot of the Day, No. 249”

Past Lives – Snapshot of the Day, No. 248

I drive past this building at lest twice a day during the week. I am fascinated by the doors that lead to a long-since-gone balcony. I try to imagine who used to live in these rooms and what sort of lives they lived. The building fronts M.L. King Boulevard – which back in the dayContinue reading “Past Lives – Snapshot of the Day, No. 248”

Roadster – Snapshot of the Day, No. 247

“Fun to drive.” That is what the sign said. So of course we stopped to look at it. Joe’s father cannot pass up doing anything fun – he especially cannot pass a car for sale without perusing it for a while. His interest is legendary. He did not buy it – yet. But he knowsContinue reading “Roadster – Snapshot of the Day, No. 247”

Fans – Snapshot of the Day, No. 246

We are Alabama football fans. These are the two gentlemen who were sitting in front of us today during the Ole Miss game. I assumed they were long-time friends. Perhaps old fraternity brothers from years ago during their time at the University of Alabama. They may have been father and son. I just couldn’t tellContinue reading “Fans – Snapshot of the Day, No. 246”

Self-Portrait With Shadows – Snapshot of the Day, No. 245

Well, I don’t call it Photos and Migraines for nothing. I had a doozy of a headache today. I stayed home from work, too. That has only happened once before in my 30 years of dealing with these stupid things. But anyway, I stepped outside later in the afternoon today and noticed these shadows. InstantContinue reading “Self-Portrait With Shadows – Snapshot of the Day, No. 245”

Do Not Enter – Snapshot of the Day, No. 244

Don’t worry. I won’t! Not with that Twilight Zone message. Typical. I wonder how long this sign has been like this? All it needs is a small nut and bolt to put it back into place. How much could that possibly cost? .50? If I brought them from home to fix it, I’d probably beContinue reading “Do Not Enter – Snapshot of the Day, No. 244”
