Three above-ground tombs in Lafayette #1 Cemetery in New Orleans. Lafayette #1 is one of the oldest cemeteries in New Orleans and it has been in seen in movies many times.

My mom, sister, and I went to New Orleans to visit my cousin who lives in a beautiful Creole cottage in the French Quarter.

Gone for Several Days

I am going to be gone for several days because I am making a trip to New Orleans with my mother and sister. I am sorry for the early posts, but I have yet to figure out how to schedule things for later posting in Blogger. I am going post Wed., Thurs., and Fri. today and I will catch up later. I will miss looking at all of your wonderful photographs while I am gone.

111:365 Concrete or Cement

111:365 Concrete of Cement
At the foot of Denny Chimes, there is a Walk of Fame where the captains of the football teams have placed their handprints and footprints since 1948. I tried to pick a football player that might be recognized all over the world. I can barely believe that it has been 44 years since Joe Namath was quarterbacking for the Crimson Tide. I am almost certain that his handprint and footprint have been replaced and this version is almost worn out from people fitting their hands and feet inside of his. Below is a picture of 2008's quarterback John Parker Wilson immortalizing his footprint in the Walk of Fame.

110:365 Local Landmark

110:365 Local Landmark
Denny Chimes is one of the most recognizable landmarks of the University of Alabama. It was dedicated in 1929, and it plays chimes every fifteen minutes as well as on the hour. I remember sitting in boring lectures and listening for the chimes to ring. Theme #174 Local Landmark.

104:365 The Global Village

104:365 The Global Village
St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1931 to provide wintering habitat for migratory birds. (Thank goodness!) This Ruddy Turnstone is a highly migratory bird that breeds in the Artic north and migrates to numerous southern destinations. They find food by foraging along the beach and turning over rocks. If you will look closely at his beak, you will see that he has been hunting for breakfast. Humans need to realize that what we do in our own little area of the world doesn’t just affect one area, it affects the delicate eco-system of this whole planet upon which we live.
This is my soapbox and theme # 320 The Global Village.

96:365 How About This Weather?

96:365 How About This Weather?
Just got back from the Florida Panhandle. This picture was take in St. George Island State Park.
