Highway 72 – Snapshot of the Day, No. 193

080613_193Highway72RgI 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

080513_192BuyingGroceriesRI 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 work and has so many potential photos hanging around.

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

080313_190TheShellGameRWhen 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

080213_189StPaulsRAlthough 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 to God for all he has done for me in my life; but especially lately.

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

080113_191TheCantinaSillaRJoe 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

073113_190MyPeopleRI 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 it later. But I love the architecture. And I especially love the painting. Actually, several windows had similar paintings, so I may do a series.

We’ll see.

Amazon Dreams – Snapshot of the Day, No. 185

072913_185AmazonDreamsRI 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

072813_184SouthernPorchRThis 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.
