Trolling Along

At first glance it is ugly, or perhaps a bit scary.  On second glance it is something more, something cheerful and even a bit beautiful; perhaps something we could be friends with.    We forget these things as we go through our lives, so quick to judge without even a second thought.   This is a failing that I admit that I have, do you?   It is something that we should all work to fix, after all there is much more to life than what we see at first.

Quiver

Southern Culture is unique at best, and while it is a bit funny; gizzards and Livers do make me quiver, but not in a good way.  Granted I tend to avoid any non pre wrapped foodstuffs sold at gas stations, not just things that make me shudder in mild disgust.

Hotel Art

Hotels tend to be the depository of most modern art, well the upper scale ones anyway.   I always find it interesting when I visit at what I find.  This particular sculpture can be found in the Embassy Suites at Highland Colony in Ridgeland.   I wonder what the artist had in mind when he created this piece, or what it is supposed to be.   I imagine depending on where you are standing it could be many things.  

Clouds

There for just a fleeting moment, beauty from water…

App for That

Ever have an itch that needed to be scratched and just could not reach it?  Well if you ever find yourself in Lucedale, Mississippi, you’ll find that you are in luck… they have an app for that!!!!   

Echo Un-Silenced

The battle of Vicksburg was one of the most important strategic battles of the American Civil War.  After the battle, the dead counted;   the horrors of war cleaned away, the loss on both ends was staggering.  At the urging of the federal government, and the creation of the Vicksburg National Military Park the battlefield became a memorial.   Each state that had soldiers lost in the battle commissioned a memorial or memorials, all are grand in scale…  but few compare to the Illinois memorial, created to mirror the Parthenon in Greece.   

Blink of an Eye

Goodbye can seem like forever, but in reality it just for the blink of an eye.

Silent Echo

Part of the Wordless Wednesday!!!!
