Remembering Blue Skies

Blue skies! I wish we had more of these lately. The weather has been so strange - cold, warm, - warm, cold - just make up your mind.

Happy weekend everyone! To see more skies from around the world, visit Skywatch.

Arched Doorway

One of the many beautiful  arched doorways at the Fondren Presbyterian Church. The light was beautiful on this day. To see a beautiful French doorway, please visit Ciel in Versailles.

Sky and Temple

Another view of the Hindu Temple of Jackson against the blue, blue sky. I got some sad news this week, my father-in-law passed away. My husband and I had planned to spend the holidays in Germany, but now we'll just be leaving a little earlier.

I am going to try to set up as many automatic postings as I can, but there may be some dry days. I'll try to check in when I can, but my MiL does not have fast internet at home, so we'll see. Until then, I wish all of my "virtual" friends a very happy holiday season and all the best in the New Year!

Black and White Temple

Another look at the Hindu Temple, this time in black and white. To see more black and white photos, please visit The Weekend in Black and White.

Temple Details

This is a detail from the Hindu Temple in Jackson. I don't know anything about the gods and goddesses, but this one looks sort of important.

Hindu temple

Jackson recently got its own Hindu Temple. It's really impressive, especially considering it's right next to a trailer park.

First Baptist and Mini

As promised, here's the "full frontal" of First Baptist Church of Madison. I actually took two shots, one with the Mini and one without. Somehow I think the Mini adds something. Happy Sunday!

Church Reflected

This is the First Baptist Church of Madison as reflected in the windows of the old Madison-Ridgeland High School. Check back tomorrow for a full frontal view.


Until then, I hope you enjoy my reflection and the many others at James' Weekend Reflections site.

Happy Blogiversary!

Today is the third anniversary of Jackson Daily Photo. To celebrate, I've made a collage of 36 of my favorite photos, one for every month I've been keeping this blog up. Feel free to "embiggen" and enjoy.

I'd like to thank all my "readers" and "lookers" out there. When I first moved to Jackson in 2007, I didn't really know what to expect. But I've had a lot of fun discovering this city and sharing it with others through this blog. I certainly hope you've enjoyed this ride as much as I have.

Truitt Memorial Church

The sun casts a tree-full shadow over this church. If you'd like to know more about their history, click here.

Hope you had a great weekend. I actually got to play golf!!

St. Francis of Assisi

I've shown you this church before, but here's another look at the steeple in black and white.

The weather down here has been cold and wet for the last few days. Luckily I'm headed over to sunny Florida again, but this time on business. I'm putting my blog on autopilot for now - enjoy!

And don't forget to head over to Here and There for a look at sunny Hawaii.

Berlin Church

I don't remember the name of this church, but its on the Winterfeld Platz in the Schoeneberg neighborhood. They have a beautiful market there every Saturday which my husband and I always visit. We were lucky this was one of the sunny days, there were not many during our ten day stay!

St Joseph's

Saint Joseph Catholic church is located in Gluckstadt, Mississippi. The congregation hosts the annual Germanfest every year. I'm not sure what the proceeds go towards, but it must be something charitible.

In any case, I like the simplicity of their place of worship, and the light coming through the bell tower is quite nice as well. For more information on the history of the church and its congregation, click here.

St Peter's Orthodox Church

I like St Peter's because it's really different from most of the mega-churches you find in the area. I'm not sure it really fits into its surroundings well, but I do like it!

St. Andrew's

No this isn't the golf course - it's one of Jackson's oldest congregations. St. Andrew's is located in the heart of downtown Jackson. It's a beautiful building surrounded by leafy green trees. The building is over 100 years old which may not seem like much by old world standards, but for the new world, that's quite a feat! I'd love to go inside and check out the stained glass, but churches here aren't open to the public like they are in Europe.

Father Demo

This is a look at the Father Demo cathedral on Bleeker Street. Father Demo was a beloved New York figure and this church and the square outside it were named in his honor.

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend!

Highlands United Methodist Church

If there are united Methodists, does that mean there are also divided Methodists?

I found this beauty downtown in the Five Points South area of Birmingham. And unsurprisingly, this church also has a website. This will be my last look at Birmingham. I really loved the city and I hope to be back soon.

Saint Francis of Assisi II

This is the entrance into the church offices. I like the glass and the modern looking cross.


Once again - do you prefer the black and white or color version?

PS: I am really enjoying Alabama! Birmingham is a lovely city. I just wish it wasn't raining. Our first round of golf on Saturday was a little wet, but not too bad. We didn't get to do much in the afternoon though. I had dreams of wandering the streets of Bham and snapping photos here and there! Today we're playing again at Oxmoor and then tonight we're off to Pratville (just outside Montgomery) where we're playing two rounds on Monday at Capitol Hill. If you're into golf, the Robert Trent Jones trail is definitely worth it!

St Francis of Assisi

This is Saint Francis of Assisi church of Madison. As you can probably guess this is a Catholic establishment. I really like the architecture of this building. I'll definitely be showing you more of this church.


Today's question is: black and white or color?

First United Methodist Church

This church is located just across the street from a Baptist church. I wonder how people decide which church to attend, there are so many choices here in the Jackson area.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We're currently under a tornado alert here in the metro area.
