1. Pickwick Lake (Sky Watch Friday)
 |
| Pickwick, Tennessee, USA, June 4, 2019 |
Rain clouds were moving in when we met friends for lunch at the Pickwick Inn Restaurant at Pickwick Lake.
That is a Great Blue Heron preening himself on the nesting platform in the lake.

But the most interesting thing we saw on that grey cloudy day was a flock of American White Pelicans! They are large migratory birds not often seen in our part of the country. --- Click on the photo for the best view.
2. Shiloh National Military Park
 |
| Shiloh, Tennessee, USA, June 4, 2019 |
When we were at Shiloh National Military Park on Tuesday, they were washing the cannons!
And doing a very thorough job of it, too!
3. Farmer's Market
 |
| Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, June 1, 2019 |
Sorry this photo is not as clear as I would like it to be, but I was shooting straight into bright morning sunlight. The Tupelo Farmer's Market allows only local folks (northeast Mississippi) to sell their wares, so it is not as busy now as it will be later in the Summer. Other farmer's markets in our area have a wider selection because they are selling fruit and vegetables grown in Florida. I visit them all!
Even though there were not a lot of vendors, I did buy a few things. Pecan pie bread (similar to banana-nut bread), home-canned squash pickles, and fresh peaches!
