Willy Nilly Friday, August 11, 2017

Willy Nilly Friday 5, Sky Watch Friday, and Floral Friday Fotos
And on Saturday: Camera Critters, Saturday's Critters, and I'd Rather B Birdin'

1. Clouds (Sky Watch Friday)

Lee County, Mississippi, USA, August 8, 2017

Rain on Monday brought cooler temperatures. We are hoping that the worst of this Summer's heat is behind us and a long, pleasantly cool Autumn is ahead.

2. Great Blue Herons (I'd Rather B Birdin')

Pickwick, Tennessee, USA, July 4, 2017

You may remember seeing this photo of one Great Blue Heron chasing another Heron away from a favorite fishing spot. On Monday we were again at Pickwick, and I saw the same thing happen again!

Pickwick, Tennessee, USA, August 7, 2017

I cannot say these are the same two Herons, but I wonder.

3. Put out to Pasture (Camera Critters and Saturday's Critters)

Lee County, Mississippi, USA, August 5, 2017

Do not worry about this horse. He is not abused nor neglected; he is just very old. He has a large green pasture with plenty of shade trees and a warm barn for shelter in the Winter.

4. Good Food

Shiloh, Tennessee, USA, August 10, 2017

Yesterday we went to lunch at Hagy's Catfish Hotel Restaurant. I ate Lemon-pepper Grilled Catfish, a Baked Sweet Potato, and Strawberry Fields Salad (lettuce, strawberries, sliced almonds, and feta cheese) with a Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing. It was delicious!
(Note: There is not an actual hotel here. Hotel is just part of the restaurant name)

As an added bonus, the restaurant faces the beautiful Tennessee River.

5. Morning Glory Vine (Floral Friday Fotos)

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, August 10, 2017

The thing I find fascinating about the Morning Glory Vine is that each bloom seems to be lit from within! I think this variety is Ipomoea purpurea.

Have a wonderful week-end!

Harvest Monday, August 7, 2017

Harvest Monday, Macro Monday, and Our World Tuesday

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, August 2, 2017

Our fig trees are so old that I don't remember the variety name. Green figs stand straight up. As they grow larger and ripen, they bend over.

Every year it is a race between us and the raccoons to see who gets the larger portion!

I hope you have a wonderful week!
