  1. I'm gonna break the rules (or at least leave stretch marks on them) and post two shots from today:

    Afternoon edition:

    My daughter says that these two pics look "spacy". Imaging that the sky is really the ocean from space and the building is a space station (especially with the "wings"):

    This one I left the adapter ring on the end of the lense which causes the "earthly" effect. Again, the fancy space station with its brick veneer...

  2. That's an intense commute. We'd love to have you as a resident. :)

    Aw, thanks GvilleSC! Actually, where we live - on Lake Hartwell - is basically half way between our jobs. DH works in Toccoa and me in Greenville... daughter commutes to Clemson U. AND... I just CAN'T give up the lake!! Our petrol costs at present are just over $800 a month!!!

  3. I would really love to make it to one of the movie showings. I'm seldom in Greenville in the evenings to take in the night life. Oh whoa is the 104 mile round trip commute from home -- every work day... it's very hard to hang around Greenville after work with family at home to take care of. Now, if they play Arsenic and Old Lace... that's a different story!! It's a favorite in our house. We'll be there will bells on - dang the miles!

  4. Morning edition:

    Another obligatory shot -- everyone has one! Liberty Bridge from below... I like this because you can see the "workings" of the bridge - Greenville's own wonder - the curvature and size (by comparison to the people walking above).

  5. RT, those look sooooo good!!! So unlike the ones in the grocery that have half the berries growing fuzzy green/gray mold.

    Here's my contribution for the afternoon edition:

    This was from last year, and I realize Reedy has had a minor overhaul this year, but I've just got baseball on the brain today.

  6. I've long enjoyed viewing the pictures you guys & gals have taken. I figured it was time for me to post a few as well...

    This is from Friday, May 4, around 6am.

    A fabulous shot! I'm just gonna have to get out of bed early one of these days and hit the park before sunrise. (Read REAL EARLY as I live 50 miles away!) The streak of red in the background from a passing motorist adds a bit of colorful bang. How long was your exposure?

  7. Our interest reached the point that in April we spent a week with my sister, visiting the family but also taking frequent and intentional "scouting trips" downtown to get to know the city and investigate myriad "livability" issues. The bottom line is that we were swept off our feet, and I am now ramping up my search for a job in Greenville (I work in GIS), as we are 80 - 90% sure we would make this move if I found an attractive position.
  8. Cricket, I just hope he is not hunting this friendly Mama Bear.

    Naw.... Didn't Nakoma like Ben on Grizzly Adams? For you youngins, Grizzly Adams was a TV show... Nakoma was his Grizzly's Indian sidekick and Ben was the pet bear.
