Anyone want a cat? Seriously - he's driving me insane. Ok, but....if you change your mind. You know how to reach me.
Twice this week I've tried new adventures in that I just drove down roads to see where it takes me. I have a compass and a notebook (so I can write where I turned) so I figure I can't get too lost, right? I knew those map reading lessons in ROTC would come in handy one day. The first day - I didn't find anything interesting. Today, I went in search of "rustic". I was thinking barns and such.
I didn't find barns but I found a lake. I wish I could have stopped at the purple "Bubba's Grocery" but the guard dogs didn't look very friendly. But...it was a nice drive in the sunshine. On the way home, I stopped by Oak Mountain State Park. It's mostly gray and brown this time of year, but I enjoyed the fresh air and sunshine anyway.
GREAT photos! ENJOY your week! Fifi
ReplyDeleteI wish I could take the baby... except my dogs would kill it and I had to get rid of our persian when I realized how allergic I was to their dander.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, Char, the flag is amazing and the creek shots are too cool...
Seems the sunsets are beautiful in Alabama. Hopefully I can get the hubs to visit maybe if I barter Bama football???
great shots. sounds like an enjoyable weekend. i've been camping at Oak Mtn. (with my brother who lives in B'ham) we camped.
ReplyDeletesometimes my cat drives me crazy too. : )
:) I adore my cat but today he was extra clingy. Sunsets here are gorgeous - especially at the beach.
ReplyDeleteOak Mountain is beautiful, isn't it?
what random and wonderful images here !
ReplyDeleteLove these images, reminds me of my childhood, fishing with dad, spending endless hours just following a creek bed through the woods, letting my imagination roam and being lost in the moment. How wonderful you spent time doing that this week, inspiration for us all.
ReplyDeleteWhen we were on our holidays last year I got the kids to pick the next turning to see where we ended up. Somehow we always ended up back at the same place *grin*
ReplyDeleteWow, awesome pix. Did you do a cool Photoshop affect on that flag image, or was it the texture from the side of a barn? Very neat.
ReplyDeleteAnd, no, no more cats (I actually own three, two at my house and one at my mom's). I laughed when your blog loaded and I saw your cat. After yesterday's cat-stravaganza, I'm felined-out! :)
it's actually two textures that I layered it. I love playing with textures.
ReplyDeleteI would not give him up actually but we've been going round and round lately about his clinging issues.
awwww. how could something that cute drive you crazy? :)
ReplyDeletestunning photos—which you always have, girl!
i looove that first water shot. reminds me of the river behind my grandma's home in jackson, mississippi
ReplyDeleteWow, what beautiful images. What a great idea to go on random drives... the lake looks beautiful :-) P.S. Your cat is adorable!
ReplyDeletelooks like a very rewarding drive!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! Love them. You and Blair have inspired me to post the scarves which I had been selling in my previous etsy shop. They should be up this week. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pics!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics! I have just started playing with textures and I think I am addicted :)
ReplyDeleteHow great that you do that.....maybe I need to 'get lost' like that!
ReplyDeletep.s. I was in ROTC too! haha
Textures are addicting!!! it's difficult to stop at times.
ReplyDeleteROTC was a blast - we always had a great time.
I really admire your passion in going to find inspiration. So often we get complacent and uninspired and forget that we are largely responsible for our own inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI love the pier photo, lovely shadows. And I've actually seen that water tower on one of our trips!
ReplyDeleteWOW... you're an amazing artist.
ReplyDeletefantastic dock shot! love it! so stark and crisp in b&w... great lines, too. :)
