Scenic Sunday 46

A perfect place for two to sit and watch the world go by. University of Tennessee Gardens.

Skywatch Friday #46

As I passed under this stone bridge on one of Knoxville, TN's greenways, I didn't give much thought as to what sort of bridge it was. On the return trip, though, a blaring shook the springtime calm and this train steamed right through the park, waving at walkers on the way through. I stood practically right underneath it and shot these pictures toward a beautiful April sky.

Under Water

You might think I was scuba diving, but no - Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga has massive habitats that you can walk above, next to, and UNDER, which is amazing and makes for some very nice captures.

Skywatch Friday #44

A peek through the wisteria at a glorious April sky at UT Gardens.

Have had a few busy weekends... more about that as I get pictures organized :)

They look like silk. Tulips at UT Gardens.

In case you're wondering, I got no flowers for Mother's Day. At least, I wasn't going to. I handed Russ a flyer from Spring Hill Nursery with a deal on gorgeous everblooming lilacs and said, "I want these for Mother's Day." So next year... I should have lilacs. I'm on my way to the garden in the next post, woohoo!

I also got French Toast breakfast from my son. :)

Another gorgeous spot at University of Tennessee Gardens. So now I need:

1) Wood for a trellis
2) Someone who can make a trellis
3) A swing to hang from the trellis
4) Definitely Japanese maples
5) Lilacs (not pictured)
6) A pot. A really big pot. And I know just the guy who hand throws them.
7) A personal gardener.
8) Um... money.

WCMS Renaissance Faire

Not often you get to see Queen Elizabeth's knickers!

Each year the good lady who plays Elizabeth at many Renaissance faires visits our middle school Renaissance Faire and explains to the kids how she makes her own FANTASTIC costumes. This pic is from a few years ago but since the faire is Friday I should have some new ones soon!

If you're local, stop by and see the shows the kids have worked so hard on. More info HERE
