Mama's Satisfaction

While down in Gulf Shores we went out to eat a a number of places. One of our most memorable came when we made a drive up to Mobile AL. Down on Dauphin Street there is a place called Mama's. Excellent food and Gumbo. Well this is our Mama feeling all content after having the best French Dip that she has ever had. I particularly like the look of satisfaction through that MonaLisa smile of hers.

Saluda Hill

While out Geocaching in Alabama we found this quaint little cemetery at Saluda Hill. This is just outside of Blakely State park, home of the Battle of Blakely, from the Civil War. There are confederate soldiers buried in this cemetery as well as citizens of Blakely. There is one known Revolutionary War veteran also buried here. I took a photo op. while spending time here before looking into the nearby battlefield.

Dunes Sunrise

This is yet another shot from Gulf Shores Alabama. Taken over the Dunes of Gulf State Park I was able to mix the sunrise and the morning fog that had just settled in the low area's. With a hint of the housing market fallout in the distance, is a bankrupt condo that stopped construction and sat idle. How sad the beach is littered with these big high rises esp. ones that are not even being used.

Gulf Shores Sunrise

We recently went on vacation to Gulf Shores Alabama. Even on vacation I had a habit of getting up early. I used this time, instead of going to work to go out and take pictures using the warm light of the sun. This is one of my favorites from my first morning. I will be posting more as I seemed to have taken around 1800 pics in the week we were gone. Stay tuned for more.

The Scale

I am not sure why I like this picture. Maybe because it is so simple. Just a still life of a scale on the shelf in the bathroom during our recent overnight in the hospital. Maybe it is cause I was so bored with having to spend a day cooped up in the room. Who knows but here is what I took.

Frank Lloyd Wright

A recent and unexpected trip to the AFCH in Madison provided me with an opportunity to get some pictures of a FLW building across the street from the Hospital. This is the Unitarian House. I didn't have a lot of time to take  a lot but here are a couple of them. I put them in B&W to make you look at the lines of the architecture. I found this a great subject to photograph.

Sleepy

Earlier I had posted pics from Emma's chemo treatment. Two days later this is how she spends her afternoon. Sleeping on the couch waiting for the chemo to work it's way through her little body. Though it is sad to see her so tired and week, we certainly do enjoy the quiet time.
