Mud Run – Snapshot of the Day, No. 204

Today was the annual Mud Run competition. The proceeds go to Habitat for Humanity. A three-mile run of obstacles – and, of course – MUD. A good time was had by all, except for the unfortunate few how got hurt. Some of the obstacles are pretty tough.

REALLY? – Snapshot of the Day, No. 203

I pulled up to the gas pump this morning and noticed the person who used it before I did spent $99. That is a first for me. I just cannot imagine having to spend that much for gas. I remember my father complaining one day in the 70s that he had just spent $7.50 toContinue reading “REALLY? – Snapshot of the Day, No. 203”

Service – Snapshot of the Day, No. 202

This is a section of Chattanooga’s National Cemetery. It is a very quiet and respectful place, so I was trying to shoot it in that light. My prayers, thoughts and thanks go to all soldiers and veterans.

Homemade Biscuits – Snapshot of the Day, No. 201

I made my great grandmother’s homemade Angel Biscuits today mainly because I had some buttermilk left over from a cake I baked last week. They are REALLY good. These are some of the tools I used and thought they made a good photo. . . not as good as the biscuits, of course. Recipe: ButtermilkContinue reading “Homemade Biscuits – Snapshot of the Day, No. 201”

Shirt Service – Snapshot of the Day, No. 200

I did a U-turn today to get this shot. The only problem was I did it right in front of a police officer. GREAT! Fortunately he did not seem to care, so my 34-year driving record remains ticket-free. At any rate, this illustration struck me as very interesting since she resembles me a bit. And IContinue reading “Shirt Service – Snapshot of the Day, No. 200”

Lunch counter – Snapshot of the Day, No. 199

My father and I had lunch together today in our usual spot – Nikki’s. It’s a greasy-spoon that serves burgers and bottled Cokes. Among other things. Oh, and they profess to serve the world’s best onion rings. If they’re not the best, they are pretty close.

Studying at Sam’s – Snapshot of the Day, No. 198

Ok, this may not be the greatest photograph in the world, but I find it humorous. I started to take this girl’s photo when she was sitting on the cart alone reading; but her father walked up, so I didn’t. But then he grabbed the cart and started walking. This little girl never looked up. SheContinue reading “Studying at Sam’s – Snapshot of the Day, No. 198”

Cherry Pickin’ – Snapshot of the Day, No. 197

I have a Cherry Tree in the front yard of my old house, and I picked all of these up off of the ground there yesterday. ( I still own the house, so I was not stealing) I brought these outside right after a thunderstorm today, and the bowl instantly fogged up due to theContinue reading “Cherry Pickin’ – Snapshot of the Day, No. 197”

Additions – Snapshot of the Day, No. 196

Well, I suppose we all have our additions. Mine happens to be Coca Cola. Especially the ones bottled with pure sugar vs. corn syrup. Ah! There is nothing like waking up to a cold, sugary, carbonated beverage that burns as it goes down. But I digress. This is a shot of the inside of theContinue reading “Additions – Snapshot of the Day, No. 196”

Volunteer Building – Snapshot of the Day, No. 195

This is a portion of the Volunteer Building downtown. My father used to work here for Volunteer State Life Insurance before they got bought out by Chubb Life. It’s one of those really cool, old buildings that oozes history.
