A-Z Photo Challenge – T: Tisha

I am not always good at finding a word to go with the challenge so this week I used my own name and am going with some self-portraits, with a twist. You can’t really see my face…

Famous Beignets in Gulfport

We found ourselves in Gulfport and happened along an old-fashioned drugstore (Triplett- Day drug) with a little soda fountain/cafe in the back of it. Come to find out it was nationally recognized for having the best breakfast of beignets in the state of Mississippi. Who knew??

Call the entomologist!!!! – picture from yesterday

I was innocently taking pictures of some Indian paintbrushes one spring day. Having found some ladybugs crawling along a stem I, of course, bent down to take closer pictures. When I downloaded the pics for a closer look I discovered the picture below. As my amazing husband noted, only I could take X-rated nature photos!!!

Enjoy!!

Home – a picture from yesterday

Inspired by the recent release from Dierks Bentley:

Excerpts from “Home”:

West, on a plane bound west
 I see stretching out below
 Land, blessed mother land
 The place where I was born

Scars, she’s got her scars
 Sometimes it starts to worry me
 Lose, I don’t want to lose
 Sight of who we are
Free, nothing feels like free
 But it sometimes means we don’t get along
 Same, no we're not the same
 But that’s what makes us strong
Brave, gotta call it brave
 To chase that dream across the sea
 Names, and they signed their names
 For something they believed

Red, how the blood ran red
 And we laid our dead in the sacred ground
 Just think, wonder what they think
 If they could see us now

It’s been a long hard ride
 Got a ways to go
 This is still the place
 That we all call home

It’s been a long hard ride
 And I won’t lose hope
 This is still the place
 That we all call home

San Diego Fires of 2008 – a picture from yesterday

I happened to be in San Diego during the fires of 2008 and captured this look at downtown San Diego from the Hilton in the harbor. Mind you that those brown clouds are not a result of sepia – those are from the smoke.

Faces of our Future and Freedom – a picture from yesterday

Two months ago, roughly, we attended our son’s graduation from basic training. This is one of my pictures from the event. I thought that it captured the moment of seeing the faces of both our future and our freedom in this great nation.

Ode to our garden past

Today I saw that someone left a bag of home-grown peppers out for others to take as they liked. Suddenly, a sadness overcame me. I miss our garden. So I looked back at the pictures from last year…

One misty, moisty morning… a picture from yesterday post

I have always loved the Mother Goose nursery rhyme below and though the picture was actually taken in the evening it makes me think of this rhyme:

One misty moisty morning,
When cloudy was the weather,
I chanced to meet an old man,
Clothed all in leather.
He began to compliment
And I began to grin.
How do you do? And how do you do?
And how do you do again?
