Photo Friday: COAST

Welcome back to the blog. In this post, I am displaying a photograph that I shared on Photo Friday, the weekly photo challenge website. The challenge for this week was #COAST. I assume that the challenge organizers intended this to mean coastline, as in the beach or coast on the ocean. However, I am stretching the meaning of the word coast to include the shoreline. And what do you see at the coastline? Seagulls! And there is no shortage of seagulls far inland, on the shores of Chickamauga Lake. I had to dig a little bit on this one as my photo was taken quite a few years ago at Chester Frost State Park.

Snow Day

Life in Tennessee came to a standstill for a few days when mother nature decided to dump 6 to 8 inches of snow on us.

Warm day, cool fountain, playing with friends. It just doesn't get any better than this.

Bluff View Art District

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love the Tennessee Riverpark. I look forward to the weekends when I usually take a long bicycle ride from the Chickamauga Dam to either Coolidge Park or Renaissance Park. One of the highlights of the Riverpark trail is the River Gallery Sculpture Garden at the Bluff View Art District. While there are some sculptures that I think are permanent many are sometimes exchanged so that there are new works of art to view at different times of the year. Below are a few pictures that I have taken over the past few years. One of my favorites is the Walking Figure by Russell Whiting which can be found on the deck of the building which houses the Bluff View Bakery. The middle photo is of a work called Wood Muses I-IV which was only recently installed. The bottom photo is a piece called Amazon Walking which has been removed since the photo was taken.
