County Line Mural, October 10, 2022

Baldwyn, Mississippi, USA, September 24, 2022

Baldwyn is a small town that sits on the line between Prentiss County and Lee County. I think this mural was painted for the County Line Music Festival.

I cannot read the signature.

Have a wonderful week!

Monday Mural, Through My Lens, and Our world Tuesday

Florence, Alabama, USA, March 21, 2018

I did not see an artist's name on this, and could not find it through an Internet search. Thank you to whoever it is!

With this small brick stage nearby, it looks like a great place for outdoor concerts.

Willy Nilly Friday 5, Sky Watch Friday, Floral Friday Fotos, and I'd Rather B Birdin'

1. Tennessee River (Sky Watch Friday)

Colbert County, Alabama, USA, October 31, 2017

On Tuesday we drove north on the Natchez Trace Parkway to see if the trees were showing their Autumn colors. We stopped here at Colbert's Ferry Park to admire the view of the Parkway bridge across the Tennessee River.

We saw some Autumn color along the way, but it is not at its best yet.

2. Elvis Presley's Birthplace and Museum

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, October 26, 2017

If you visit Tupelo, be sure to walk up to the top of the hill overlooking the Birthplace and Museum to see this sculpture of Elvis as a boy.

A wall behind the sculpture explains the start of his musical career. Below are close-up photos that I hope are large enough to be read.

.

.

And the Larger Than Life Elvis sculpture is there, too.

3. Food

Colbert County, Alabama, USA, October 31, 2017

Persimmons are Autumn fruits that are bitter if picked too early. They are best picked and eaten after the first frost.

I found these persimmons high up in the tree, so I left them there. Probably best that I could not reach them; they don't look ripe enough yet.

4. Best Photo of the Week (I'd Rather B Birdin')

Colbert County, Alabama, USA, October 31, 2017

Great Blue Heron. Other than cropping and adding my name, this is straight out of the camera.
Canon PowerShot SX520 HS, 1/160 sec., f 5.6, ISO 125, 10/31/2017 1:30pm.

5. Carolina Jessamine (Floral Friday Fotos)

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, November 2, 2017

My Carolina Jessamine Vine, Gelsemium sempervirens, is full of buds!

And a few have opened. Carolina Jessamine is hardy is USDA zones 7 - 9. Unless we have unusually cold temperatures this Winter, it will continue blooming for several months.

Have a wonderful week-end!

Willy Nilly Friday 5, Sky Watch Friday, and Floral Friday Photos

1. The Tupelo Farmers Market

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, August 22, 2017

What to do with an old truck? Plant flowers in it! This planting and mural is at the Tupelo Farmers Market.

The Farmers Market is the place to visit if you want local grown food. In addition to basic garden produce, you can buy cut flower bouquets, home-made bread, jam, jelly, and honey.
I bought purple-hull peas there on Tuesday.

2. Elvis

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, August 19, 2017

I found three more 'Tribute to Elvis' sculptures.

3. Soybean Field (Sky Watch Friday)

Pickwick, Tennessee, USA, August 17, 2017

I think the proper term for this is a Center Pivot Irrigation System, but I just call it 'The Monster!'
Our weather continues to be very hot (95F, 35C) with occasional afternoon thunderstorms.
For more information on this type of crop irrigation: Wikipedia article.

4. Fish?

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, August 24, 2017

I was eating breakfast yesterday when I glanced up and saw a fish on my wall! I think it must be a reflection from one of my wind chimes hanging on the porch (but none of them are fish).

5. Rose of Sharon (Floral Friday Fotos)

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, August 23, 2017

Here in the United States, Rose of Sharon usually refers to Hibiscus syriacus (not a rose, but a large shrub). In other parts of the world, Rose of Sharon may refer to an entirely different plant.

Remember to say a prayer for those along the Texas coast in the path of Hurricane Harvey

Have a wonderful week-end!

4. Butterflies and Moths (Camera Critters and Saturday's Critters)
Wednesday must have been 'Butterfly and Moth Day' at my house!

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, August 2, 2017

Limenitis arthemis astyanax, Red-spotted Purple Admiral Butterfly is named for the red spots on the undersides of its wings. I don't know why, but it spent several minutes exploring our dog's bed on the front porch.

In this photo you can see the red spots on the undersides of the wings.

1. Cotton Fields (Sky Watch Friday)

Lee County, Mississippi, USA, July 26, 2017

The cotton is blooming!

We have had scorching hot days with a few late afternoon thunderstorms this week.

2. Elvis

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, July 20, 2017

This Guitar sculpture is in front of Lawhon Elementary School where Elvis attended school in the 1940s.

Nearby is a plaque in memory of Mrs. J. C. Grimes, his 5th grade teacher. Mrs. Grimes was a wonderful teacher who loved and encouraged all her students. I was blessed to have her for 5th grade in 1960.

3. Bird! (I'd Rather B Birdin')

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, July 25, 2017

Guess who decided to build her nest in a hanging basket on my front porch?

A Carolina Wren!

4. Shiloh National Military Park

Shiloh, Tennessee, USA, July 21, 2017

This National Park commemorates the American Civil War Battle of Shiloh, April 6-7 1862.

It is a very peaceful place to visit now 155 years later. However, a few times during the year, they celebrate special events with a cannon firing demonstration!

If you do the driving tour of the park, watch for deer!

5. A New Purchase (Floral Friday Fotos)

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, July 26, 2017

Crossandra 'Orange Marmalade'

Crossandra is a tropical plant that can be grown as a houseplant. I plan to bring it indoors at the first hint of cooler weather in September.

Happy Friday!
