Old Stomping Ground – Snapshot of the Day, No. 194

When we were kids and visited our grandmother’s house in Brainerd, our father would take us on walks through the neighborhood. We always had a ton of fun. Sometimes we would walk to the Clarence T. Jones Observatory. A bit overgrown now, these are the steps that lead to the observatory. I ventured up mostContinue reading “Old Stomping Ground – Snapshot of the Day, No. 194”

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.

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.

Ariel in the Fountain – Snapshot of the Day, No. 180

Coolidge Park has a very cool fountain, and that is where I found this little princess today. I guess she just got tired of playing and decided to take a breather for a minute.

In Brainerd – Snapshot of the Day, No. 179

Every time I see this guy in an area of town near my old house called “Brainerd,” I think of the Paul Bunyan statue in the movie, “Fargo.” They have a Brainerd, too. I always thought that was odd. Anyway, this guy stands at our area miniature golf and recreation site called Goony Golf. OurContinue reading “In Brainerd – Snapshot of the Day, No. 179”
