This is my cat, Mojo. He liked to lay in the sink as a kitten and I was able to catch him peering over the edge.
Every night, this spider builds a new web. Every night I have tried to capture it! Last night, I sprayed it with a water sprayer and got this shot. The spider never moved. I called it Facing my Fear because I am terrified of spiders!
Such a busy little bee!! So pretty against the pale pink of the bloom! Sold as Framed art
This was taken April 2008 and it stood alone among all the trees budding with their new leaves. Placed 4th on Trees in Bloom Contest! Yeah!!!!
I got some daisies and put them in this little teapot ( I like to collect them). I added a little more highlighting and put a scenic finish to it and look how the centers became illuminated!
This is a collaboration with my son. We went out and gather some things for fall and he set them up and I took the picture. He has a great eye for color and texture!
Oh how I love Autumn! The colors are so vivid and the landscape is covered for miles around! Picture taken 2007 at Whiteside Mountain Overlook.
Confederate Rose Blooms only last a day and then they wither and die off!!
The gold surrounded by summer leaves is quite breathtaking!! Just one tree so far has turned this fabulous color!
Storm rising over the Smoky Mountains.
I took this this morning as the sunlight was blasting down on it!! WOW!!!
Autumn 2008 in South Carolina
Tiger River – Walnut Grove, SC (not to be confused with the Walnut Grove on Little House on the Prairie- LOL)
This barn was part of a huge sprawling farm in Woodruff, SC. It was one of ten barns built on the property. Dated back about 1836.
This is a barn at the Keys House in Cross Keys, SC. It is a historical site and it open to the public by invitation only. The descendants of the builder of this home are still lving in the area and three families attend my church at Padgett’s Creek Baptist Church. It is still the original barn but has been added onto throughout the years. More photos of this home will follow! Hope you all enjoy!
Another capture of the Tyger River in Walnut Grove, SC. This was taken farther upstream where the water is so calm. If you notice in the background there is a home. Could you imagine living in such beauty all year long???
This church was founded in 1784 by Rev. John Webb and John Cole, with Barnett Putman and William Wilbanks, Sr. as its first deacons. Ir was first called “the Church of Christ on Tyger River” and renamed Padgett Creek Baptist Church by 1800. The first sanctuary, a log building, stood about a mile south. The second sanctuary, a frame building, was completed nearby about 1810. This sanctuary, described as “elegant and commodious” by an early church historian, was built 1844-48. It was enlarged by the addition of a portico and steeple in 1958. The church was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. There is also a one-story rear addition. Padgett’s Creek was an upcountry meeting place for discussion of civil matters during the Civil War. On August 29, 1851, a secession meeting, possibly the first, was held at Padgett’s Creek. Speakers were Senator and later Governor William H. Gist and Congressman Daniel Wallace who advocated “secession rather than submission.” The congregation included African American members as late as 1872 and several of their graves may be seen in the cemetery.
