C'mon, Keep Up!

The New Gull

I don't remember seeing these on the beach from my trips years ago, but the last few years there seem to have been more and more of them.

52 Photos Project: Stairs

Belle's challenge this week for 52 Photos Project is {stairs}.

Columbiana is the county seat of Shelby County Alabama and it's a relatively old little town.  At several locations throughout the city you can find these stone stairs that lead from the street to a vacant lot, obviously remnants of homes that have either burned or been torn down for some reason like general neglect and decay.  Each of these sets of stairs has many stories to tell, I'm sure, and there are a few people around town that might be able to tell them, but they are dying out fast and I don't think anybody is writing them down.  Soon they will be gone.

Creepy Crepe Crawler

Found this beautiful young lady hiding down in the Crepe Myrtle blossom.  I've never seen one like this before.  

52 Photos Project: Summertime Refreshments

I've been at the beach for a few days, thus I'm a little late posting to the current 52 Photos Project: Summertime Refreshments.  Normally I don't drink much water.  Sixty four ounces a day is way out of my realm.  In fact, I get almost all my fluids from coffee, an occasional Diet Coke, and a glass of wine.  Water is for when I'm sweating, so when I'm sitting in the 95 degree heat, and the sand is bouncing the sun back up at me, it's hard to beat a cold bottle of water.  Hard, but maybe not impossible.

Not My Favorite Part, But . ,

 . . a crowded day at the beach is still better than a day at work (as I recall, since I don't work anymore).
