"Know ye that the Lord he is God; it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful unto Him and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endures to all generations" Psalm 100:3-5

Monday Mural

Saltillo, Mississippi, USA, May 21, 2023

This is the first mural I have seen that turns a corner! Artist McKinnon Herring painted it at the rear entrance of the Teachers Resource Center. Because of traffic on the street in front, most people use this entrance.

Does it remind you of the "Yellow Submarine" song by the Beatles?

Because the Center offers tutoring for young children, she used the book "Pete the Cat: Scuba-Cat" as her inspiration for this wall.

I hope you have a fun week!

Sorry about the pole that is in the way.

I bought this hanging whirly-gig as a gift for a friend. Now I am wishing I had bought one for myself, too!

God Bless America!

Iuka Mississippi, USA, November 6, 2021

Since Thursday, November 11, is Veterans Day here in the United States, I decided to show you this mural that honors the soldiers of the American Civil War and the history of Iuka (pronounced Eye-you-kah) in northeast Mississippi. I like the way the late afternoon sun enhanced the colors.

General Grant and General Rosecrans were leaders of the Union Army. General Price and General Little were leaders of the Confederate Army. The mural was painted for the 150th anniversary commemoration of the Battle of Iuka. The other panels depict historic places in the area.

Have a wonderful week!

Tishomingo, Mississippi, USA, August 6, 2021

It was a cloudy day when we were in town. I meant to go back on a sunny day, but it has been over a month now, so here goes with the cloudy day photos.

The Bible verse on the sign is John 13:34 "Love each other as I have loved you."

Independence Day celebration

The town gets its name from an important Native American Indian: Chief Tishomingo.

The railroad was key to the early development of the town and is still important today.

The old Tishomingo Agricultural High School

The Swinging Bridge is a pedestrian bridge at Tishomingo State Park. It is supported by steel cables and yes, it does sway a bit as you walk across it.

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, March 6, 2021

Here in Mississippi we have a new state flag! Mississippi artists were invited to submit designs. Then a Flag Commission selected several designs to go on the ballot in the general election last November. And here is the winner! The Magnolia is our state tree and state flower.

It took several months to get enough flags made, but now we are beginning to see them proudly flying beneath the US flag.

I hope you have a wonderful week!
