Highway 72 – Snapshot of the Day, No. 193

I was really busy today before, during and after work; so this was my only opportunity to get my shot of the day – a scene of the back of a log truck on Highway 72 in metropolitan Scottsboro. Good times.

Buying Groceries – Snapshot of the Day, No. 192

I was buying some corn at P&P Produce today when I saw this mother and daughter (I’m assuming) at the other register. The little girl was so beautiful, I just couldn’t resist taking her photo. I’ve uploaded a couple of other images in this project of P&P, but it’s right down the street from workContinue reading “Buying Groceries – Snapshot of the Day, No. 192”

Pollen Lover – Snapshot of the Day, No. 191

This guy was hanging around our neighbor’s Surprise Lilies today. He did not seem to mind me. I suppose he was too drunk on the pollen to care.

The Shell Game – Snapshot of the Day, No. 190

When we were kids, we used to marvel at these little shells of what we were told were June bugs. However, I recently found out they are actually the skeletons of cicadas. Joe found three of them together today, so we had a little fun.

Saint Paul’s – Snapshot of the Day, No. 189

Although I am not a member of this church – Saint Paul’s Episcopal – I’ve been inside often. For weddings, as well as funerals, I’m afraid. But it is on the National Register of Historic Places. It was even used as a hospital during the Civil War. This photo is sort of a tribute toContinue reading “Saint Paul’s – Snapshot of the Day, No. 189”

The Cantina Silla – Snapshot of the Day, No. 188

Joe and I frequently go to Scottsboro, Alabama, and we usually eat at this Mexican restaurant – Buenavista. I do not know the story behind this chair, but it is the object of a lot of kids’ interest.

My People! – Snapshot of the Day, No. 187

I made a U-turn today with the intention of returning to a spot that I thought would make a good photo of the day. Fortunately for me, I turned down this road and discovered this painting in the window of this building. I do not know the name of the building. I may add itContinue reading “My People! – Snapshot of the Day, No. 187”

Anjellicle CAT – Snapshot of the Day, No. 186

This is River. Our “Jellicle cat” of sorts. He was not having a great morning, but he doesn’t complain – much.

Amazon Dreams – Snapshot of the Day, No. 185

I had some extra time today, so I went to the River Gallery Sculpture Garden and found this lovely sculpture – “Amazon with Sacred Geometry,” Steel, $28,00 – by Russell Whiting. She seemed to want to go inside this house, so that’s how I shot her. It was hot, after all.

Southern Porch – Snapshot of the Day, No. 184

This is a portion of my in-laws screened-in porch. They grow their own tomatoes and cucumbers. This scene just struck me as a typical Southern scene in the summer. I love summer in the South. The heat and humidity make me feel alive. I’m afraid I’m in the minority on this subject.
