Lobby Piano – Snapshot of the Day, No. 63

I was going to try shooting in the public library today, but since it’s Good Friday, the library happened to be closed. So I walked over the Read House – and shot down on the lobby from the mezzanine. As soon as I got to the railing, this little kid walked by – too fast,Continue reading “Lobby Piano – Snapshot of the Day, No. 63”

Blowing Glass – Snapshot of the Day, No. 62

I went downtown at lunch to buy a gift card for a neighbor, and stumbled across this cool glass blowing studio. It’s called Ignis Glass Studio. With their help, you can make your own glass ornaments. Pretty cool! My intention for this photo was not how it turned out. I wanted to focus on the bowlsContinue reading “Blowing Glass – Snapshot of the Day, No. 62”

Key to New Orleans – Snapshot No. 61

My husband and I honeymooned in New Orleans. We love that city. We have a New Orleans-type restaurant here in town called Blue Orleans. It was not open yet when I walked by this afternoon, but I happened to see all of these keys hanging on the inside of the door. I thought that was veryContinue reading “Key to New Orleans – Snapshot No. 61”

The Produce Section – Snapshot of the Day, No. 60

I have been trying all day long to get my Snapshot of the Day with not much success. I think what my problem is I’m starting to hesitate too much. I ask myself, “Is THIS really what you want your photo of the day to be?” And then the moment passes. I sometimes take otherContinue reading “The Produce Section – Snapshot of the Day, No. 60”

Biking to the Pub – Snapshot of the Day, No. 59

It was very cold today – at least to us who have had a mild winter. It was actually spitting snow here, but you can’t tell. This is a local pub downtown called the Honest Pint. I thought it was humorous to find a bike parked in front in the middle of the afternoon. I guessContinue reading “Biking to the Pub – Snapshot of the Day, No. 59”

Fathers and Sons – Snapshot of the Day, No. 58

This is a photo of my husband and his father when Joe was five years old. I found it the other day when I was looking for something else. I love this photo because it has that “Sixties in America” feel to it. A car, a pair of blue jeans and two sets of sunglasses.Continue reading “Fathers and Sons – Snapshot of the Day, No. 58”

Nesting – Snapshot of the Day, No. 57

I love birds. They are little gifts from Heaven. They always cheer me up a bit no matter what mood I’m in. Bird nests are so masterfully made, too. If one ever falls out of a tree or bush, I pick it up and put it on a window sill. This one I’ve had aContinue reading “Nesting – Snapshot of the Day, No. 57”

Southern Furniture Wholesalers – Snapshot No. 56

Apparently this was the South’s largest wholesale distributor of home furniture. I’ve live here my entire life, and I never knew it existed. The only reason I found it was because I got turned around looking for something else today. I love old warehouses like this. I can picture the former employees working inside allContinue reading “Southern Furniture Wholesalers – Snapshot No. 56”

Elemental Employees – Snapshot of the Day, No. 55

I left work to run an errand today and stumbled across a really cool restaurant called Elemental. As I was walking by, I noticed while looking through the window that it had lots of really cool design elements inside. I had originally thought it was a store and coffee house; but as I walked in, theContinue reading “Elemental Employees – Snapshot of the Day, No. 55”
