A rare snowstorm hit the state of Alabama this weekend. It was 3,319 days since any measurable snow was recorded at the Birmingham airport and today they reported 2 inches of snow. That said, we are two hours southeast of Birmingham so I am sure it has been even longer down here. It was quite [...]
This was a different kind of Friday for Friday Feet this week. If you are new to reading this blog, each Friday I do a post called Friday Feet which is just a photo “feet” shot that is where we happen to be on Friday. If you are married you know the importance of spending [...]
This video put me over the top for this Christmas. They put it up on YouTube (or posted online) so I figure it is fair game all around. Is this really how much we love our things today? I am sure the family was happy they got their son something he would like and were [...]
This is sort of a follow up to Do You Have a Quiet and Peaceful Place to Hide? which for some reason is one of my highest traffic posts and also A Foggy Summer Morning in Auburn Alabama (both different views of the swing). This is yet another view from our tree swing, this time [...]
I don’t know if I want to say this is a typical sunrise here in Alabama or not (I think they are all different every single day), but it is still beautiful. It reminds me of a calm coolish (certainly not cold yet) Saturday morning here in Alabama. Auburn plays Vanderbilt tonight, which [...]
Did I mention we have some crazy, very aggressive eating Ruby Throat Hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris) here at the house? These little guys are not in the least bit shy, and will act more like a hungry dog if you let their food run dry. These images were taken as Deborah was trying to put their [...]
This photo is pretty much the view from my bedroom window. Most mornings I wake up and see the sunrise with very little color, some days though, there are unbelievable colors in the sky, and this is what I saw this morning. Color like this doesn’t happen very often, and most times it is gone [...]
This weekend was so exhausting and also a little sad. On Saturday we took down about a 50 foot Pine tree we built our house around. When Deb and I picked the spot to build our house, we specifically chose where the house is now built because of this wonderful tree that was [...]
For more reasons than can be expressed, we are selling our bus that we called home for more than 5 years. It has been up in Colorado for the last two years and needs a new home. Below is how it was listed on eBay. It was a successful auction and the [...]
Wow, what a busy weekend (including Friday here). We stared off the weekend Friday night with the most wonderful thunderstorm. Since we hadn’t seen any rain here in what feels likes years it was a pleasant site. I took several photos of the lightening, one is in my post, Lightening in the Sky [...]
