  • Forsythia [photos 2012]

    I love the seasonal transitions. Nature is changing fast. One of my favorite flowering plants is the forsythia bush. I think this has a couple of different names, but I’ve always heard it called forsythia. I think I like it because there was a big one in front of my grandparents’ house and they always…

  • LHS Sub-State Victory [photos 2012]

    Today I’m using a guest photographer. I took a lot of photos for a virtual tour, but none with my phone. Amy went to or high school’s girls basketball game. They were playing for the chance to play in the state tournament. The bid was successful. It was a low scoring game, but a win…

  • In Like A Lion [photos 2012]

    What a difference a day makes! As often happens, we’re “paying” for the near 70 deg weather as a cold front came through the area. North Alabama was once again hit with one particular subdivision having 50 out of 60 home seriously damages or deatroyed. Today’s photo is of an ominous cloud that skirted to…

  • Early Spring Blossoms [photos 2012]

    More evidence of our extremely early spring. The bradford pear trees are already blooming. I hope we don’t have a late spring freeze the way we did a few years ago … This post is part of my One Photo Per Day of 2012 project. Technical details: iPhone 4s using Camera+.

  • Grungy Cooler [photos 2012]

    It’s been unseasonably warm for a couple of weeks. The entire winter has been mild for that matter. If it keeps this up we’ll have to break out the fan . . . which is the subject of today’s photo. This post is part of my One Photo Per Day of 2012 project. Technical details:…

  • Chicken? [photos 2012]

    This is my best friend, Emmy (short for Emmy Lou Hairy). She’s going to be ten years old next month and she, like most dogs, has developed a vocabulary of favorite words. “Chicken?” gets this look every time. Haircut courtesy of Yippy’s Pet Salon. This post is part of my One Photo Per Day of…

  • Old Glory [photos 2012]

    Not my first flag photo an it won’t be the last. Not my best flag photo but definitely not the worst either. I present … Old Glory! This post is part of my One Photo Per Day of 2012 project. Technical details: iPhone 4s using Camera+.

  • Good News [photos 2012]

    Pastor Greg Morris read this verse in his sermon Sunday Morning. I was reminded of what good news is in Romans 10. This post is part of my One Photo Per Day of 2012 project. Technical details: iPhone 4s using Camera+.

  • Home Improvement [photos 2012]

    If this picture looks like the bathroom in a one hundred year old farm house…well that’s because it is. When we remodeled this house eleven years ago somebody (probably me) drove screws through the drywall and into that drain in the wall. Evidently it’s been leaking ever since. The subfloor around the toilet is mush.…

  • Traveler’s Motel [photos 2012]

    This is definitely not a lodging recommendation, but this old motel is a familiar site on the main thoroughfare in Lawrenceburg. I thought this old sign made a good daily photo contribution, especially since I like grunge. This post is part of my One Photo Per Day of 2012 project. Technical details: iPhone 4s using…

Got any book recommendations?
