F is for....



FOUNTAIN. This beautiful fountain featuring playful cherubs is in Natchez, Mississippi. One of the oldest cities in Mississippi, it was founded in 1716 by the French. Natchez then went on to serve as the capitol for many countries and colonies before finally becoming part of Mississippi. Spared from damage in the Civil War, the city is a jewel in the south, with many historical buildings and homes still existing. Natchez is possibly the only surviving southern belle.

That's a nice fountain. Looks very refreshing. I will have to get to Natchez some day.

In all the times I have been to Natchez I don't remember seeing this fountain. We have one kind of like this in Mobile, Al.
