So, we started a trip into Tennessee, Leoma to be exact. And, I am excited. Some of my ancient kin settled in Leoma and nearby Lawrenceburg. Maybe I'd run into one of their descendants. NOT.
But, the trip was camera friendly. I took pictures of a dozen barns and there were so many I missed. I need to go back. I'll share some of those barns with you later but right now I have three pics I have to show you.
The first one is of a lighthouse. Now, I never figured I'd see a lighthouse and true, it isn't a working lighthouse, just advertisement for a restaurant, but such fun for me to discover along the way.
Next is a killdeer that was hopping along in the grass next to the parking lot at the furniture store. Two of them, but I just got one. They both froze in place until we pulled out into the highway and then they scooted off. I guess they thought we wouldn't see them if they didn't move!
And, I loved this sign by the side of the road. We saw several and finally decided that it was advertising some event that perhaps a religious group was having or perhaps a musical production.
But, just look at the 'post' holding the sign. So inventive, so unique.
I love your three pics! God speed on your search for a comfy chair!
ReplyDeleteJust spent some time catching up on your Alabama visit to your son, Michael's place, and looks like you have had some great weather and wonderful memories, Latane. I like the creative sign in the last photo!
ReplyDeleteNifty snapshots. I love when killdeer pretend to have a wounded wing to lure you away from their in ground nests.

ReplyDeleteSuch charming finds on your trip! There was a restaurant where we used to take Mary in SW Va that had a lighthouse like that. I remember they baked bread in tiny flowerpots and I always thought that was such a cute idea. Love the Hills are Alive sign! And the killdeer was a sweet discovery too.
