Monday Murals

Myrtle, Mississippi, USA, February 7, 2024

Myrtle is a small town in northeast Mississippi. Artist Katie Sappington of Due Moon Creations titled this mural of children against a colorful sunrise "The future of Myrtle."

I like the hearts on their shirts, and...

...if you look closely, you can see that they are all holding hands!

Have a wonderful week!

I am linking in today with Monday Mural

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

"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

1. Foggy Morning Sunrise (Sky Watch Friday)

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, August 2, 2020

The one day I was up and on the road early enough to get a sunrise photo, it was completely foggy!

(My house is surrounded by trees, so I am not able to get sunrise or sunset photos from home).

2. Spider Web (The Weekend in Black and White)

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, August 2, 2020

But that same fog gave me a good background for this black and white photo!

3. Surprise Lilies (Floral Friday Fotos)

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, August 2, 2020

Surprise Lilies, Lycoris squamigera, are also called Magic Lilies and Naked Ladies.

4. Spider (Saturday's Critters)

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, August 2, 2020

Black and Yellow Garden Spiders, Argiope aurantia, are harmless to people and eat insects, making them beneficial to the garden.

5. Eastern Bluebird (I'd Rather B Birdin')

Prentis County, Mississippi, USA, August 3, 2020

I accidently scared this female Eastern Bluebird off her nest, and she watched me carefully as I walked by.

Have a blessed day!

Photo Scavenger Hunt November 27 2011

This week's prompts are: Waiting, Foliage, Candid, Knife Fork or Spoon, and Rule of Thirds. 
I dug into my archives for the Waiting photo; the others are recent.

Waiting:


Photographer-Husband Waiting for the Perfect Sunrise Photo

Foliage:

When looking for Autumn Foliage, watch where you step!
I think this is Juniper Moss.

Candid:

Aha! The photographer herself caught in the act!

This bank building in Tupelo Mississippi is covered with reflective panels.

Knife, Fork, or Spoon:

I recycle plastic knives and forks by using them as markers in my garden.

Little Finger baby carrot seeds were sown on August 30. We pulled the first ones this week.
Background color provided by an ornamental pear tree.

Rule of Thirds:

This artwork is on the side of the Gum Tree Bookstore in Tupelo Mississippi.

Moving in closer for a photo of the candlestick

Using Rule of Thirds to improve composition
