Yale or Bust!: Natchez, Mississippi
http://seesandiego.blogspot.com/2006/04/natchez-mississippi.html
Saturday, April 08, 2006. I was up early and planned to leave but as I looked around (and visited the Vistor's Ctr), I didn't get out of Natchez until almost evening. Most of the town sits on a 200 ft bluff overlooking the Mississippi River. 'Natchez Under The Bridge' is a collection of art galleries, restaurants and this boat casino. Natchez has dozens of beautiful Victorian mansions. Many are open to the public by tour. Before I left Natchez I had to cross the bridge over to Louisiana and back. Hogs an...

Yale or Bust!: South to Natchez, MS
http://seesandiego.blogspot.com/2006/04/south-to-natchez-ms.html
Friday, April 07, 2006. South to Natchez, MS. Heading south out of Memphis, I took Hiway #1 in Mississippi down the east side of the River. I was hoping it would be a river road, but it isn't. I made dozens of side trips driving west to the river's edge, mostly driving through uninhabited swamp lands. The few homes that are built by the Mississippi, have quite a view. In a park along the river, this woman (who was fishing) was kidding with me that she could duck while running and beat my shutter.

Yale or Bust!: Kudzu and killing
http://seesandiego.blogspot.com/2006/04/kudzu-and-killing.html
Friday, April 14, 2006. Leaving Nashville and driving east on two lane roads, I saw complete hillsides covered with kudzu (a vine from Asia). One woman in a small grocery store, told me the cows love it so the farmers brought it in. Now it's gone wild and smothers everything. In the summer it turns green and everyone thinks it's beautiful. Rural Tennessee has some great old cemeteries. I drove by a small taxidermy shop and decided to stop. My Other Blogs -. A Shot a Day. Gypsy Blood and Asphalt Fever.

Yale or Bust!: February 2006
http://seesandiego.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 09, 2006. Helicopter Bees near Tijuana, Mex. There's a San Diego community garden down by the international border with Mexico. It's within walking distance of the huge fence that divides our countries. It's beside a forgotten ugly piece of land - acres of wild jumbled weeds, bushes and trees that grow unchecked by the Tijuana River, the polluting ecological disaster that runs from Mexico into the US then drains out into the ocean.

Yale or Bust!: Smoky Mt National Park & the Blue Ridge Parkway
http://seesandiego.blogspot.com/2006/04/smoky-mt-national-park-blue-ridge.html
Friday, April 21, 2006. Smoky Mt National Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway. When I drove through the Smoky Mountain National Park 10 days ago, the spring weather was warm and lots of trees were blooming. At the higher elevations I also found ice on the rock walls beside the road. I never saw any smoke in the Great Smoky Mountains. I was told I was a day late and the atmosphere was too dry - but a few days before, 'smoke' (mist) was everywhere. My Other Blogs -. A Shot a Day. Gypsy Blood and Asphalt Fever.

Yale or Bust!: Just West of Memphis
http://seesandiego.blogspot.com/2006/04/just-west-of-memphis.html
Monday, April 03, 2006. Just West of Memphis. Not a single photo, sorry) -. Yesterday afternoon as I was driving from Little Rock, AR toMemphis - all the radio stations went to TORNADO ALERT! All scratchy with strange beeps and weird alert sounds. Talk of a little adrenaline while driving - I've never seen skies like that. They added, "Don't head for home if it's a mobile trailer! Get to a secure, stable structure immediately! To talk to the very friendly clerk, I kept having to stare into the pink crotc...

Yale or Bust!: January 2006
http://seesandiego.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 31, 2006. Glowing in the grass. I went for a walk this afternoon. The air was cold and it felt uncomfortable, I didn't dress warm enough. I took some photos of flowers I walked by and as I was calling it quits, I looked down and almost stepped on this leaf. The late afternoon sun was low in the sky and the long heavy dense rays penetrated this leaf like it was transparent. Just the angle it was laying in the grass, it looked it was glowing neon.

Yale or Bust!: November 2005
http://seesandiego.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 17, 2005. I wanted to show you Mission Beach this morning. We have a great bay side, not the ocean surf, where you can rent all kinds of water toys on smooth, calm water. Early this morning I watched some guys set up their business - they carefully set the skis on the lawn, fired up their boats and in this photo a young girl took a face plant trying to get up the first time. Wednesday, November 16, 2005. Welcome to my new blog - this is all very new for me! This morning I headed out ea...

Yale or Bust!: March 2006
http://seesandiego.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 30, 2006. Today I drove through Texas into Oklahoma. The Cadillac Ranch near Amarillo - 10 full size Cadillacs half buried in the sand. And just before entering Oklahoma on I-40 - the "biggest cross in the world", they claim. (Note the 2 cars in the parking lot for comparison). Cimarron NM to Texas. Heading east from Taos, NM. - I drove through Cimarron and stopped at the old St. James Hotel. Taos was full of interesting architecture and old churches. I decided to stay an extra day, i...

A Shot a Day Keeps Ennui Away: Wings on our Window
http://ashotadaykeepsennuiaway.blogspot.com/2010/04/wings-on-our-window.html
A Shot a Day Keeps Ennui Away. A simple blog - each day we will add a photo taken that day, plus a brief comment. Thursday, April 15, 2010. Wings on our Window. We didn't hear the bang but woke up to this image left over from the collision with our window - one of the Stellar's Jays that begs for peanuts every morning (we're pretty sure). And just as we were checking the grass below for any injuries - BANG! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Gypsy Blood and Asphalt Fever. Wings on our Window.
