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.
February Theme Day: Fountains
This one comes to you from the Jackson Zoo, complete with beautiful fall colors! I've been using some shots from the archives because I've been busy lately with other occupations, like home improvements!
Remember back at the first of the month, I said there was some big news in the works, well here it is... I'm moving to Toronto in March! But don't get too sad yet, JDP will live on under the guidance of my friend, Dreamer's Click. He will be doing some guest posts in February to get the hang of things and sometime after he'll take over full time.
I'm very excited about the new adventures ahead of me. There are still a few hurdles to overcome (like selling a house), but I am looking forward to good times in Canada. And hopefully I'll find time to open a daily photo blog up there too!
Happy theme day everyone. To see more fountains from around the world, click here. I've also got a bonus fountain shot on my travel blog.
Migration
I woke up the other day to find a flock of migrating blackbirds taking a rest in my backyard and the yard across the street. They were quite timid though. As soon as I brought my camera out, they flew away. Hope they make it to their final destination!

Catwalk
A working bridge near the Pearl River walking trail. I'm not sure what or who walks up there, but I think it has something to do with the water treatment plant that's a few miles up the road.

Naturally
A view into the main display room of the Mississippi Museum of Natural History. It's a fun place for the young people to explore. There are also plenty of photo ops for the young at heart.
Swamp Reflections
Reflections in a swamp near the Pearl river. Let's hope we finally get some sun this weekend!

Bushy Bench
I am a bit worried that tropical bush thingy might one day take this bench over, but I guess the Jackson Zoo staff makes sure plenty of seating is available for everyone.
Rockin' Out
Pull up a chair for a nice chat! Maybe we can talk about those lovely shadows being cast by the railings. If we can't find something to talk about, we can always rock and enjoy some sun!
Kookaburra
I don't know if this is an old gum tree, but this king of the bush did seem to be quite merry. I heard him laughing. It's a rather odd sound. He was spotted at the Jackson Zoo.

Another look at the walkway in the Jackson Zoo. It takes you right into the animal areas.

Creek Reflections
Reflections of a sunny sky in a creek that runs into the Pearl river. It's still cool here in Jackson, let's hope the weekend brings a little heat!

Walker's Drive-In
One of Jackson's most beloved restaurants. This is the waiting area, believe me it can get full!
Here's a link to their website. Their menu is quite varied, but focuses mainly on fish dishes.

Bright Beauty
The weather this past weekend was not quite what I hoped for, but we did have some blue skies. These colorful flowers remind me that spring is just around the corner!

Gator Castle
I actually don't know what kind of animals were "living" in this castle. I can tell you this, the moat surrounding it was filled with alligators. Hope whoever the residents were got along well with the gators!
Zoo Bridge
One section of the Jackson Zoo consists of a sort of causeway that takes you through the animal areas. Here's a look at the tail end of it.

Olga's Bench
Another look at Olga's restaurant. She is kind enough to provide a cozy sitting area for patrons who have to wait for a table. It's nice, but I still prefer the bar!

Blue Skies
It's been so cold here lately, so I'm looking back on some skies from last November. I'm hoping we get some blue and warmer temps this weekend as well.

Cold Friend
I've been putting out extra food for my feathered friends during these cold times. The juncos seem to be taking advantage.
Doorway to Knowledge
The doorway to the Warren Hood Library on the Belhaven campus. I have a dear friend who works here. I am a little ashamed to say I've never actually been inside though. Maybe I'll have to change that. What do you say dear friend?

Icy Bug
The Halcyon Bug got a few icicles during the ice storm Sunday night. This is how my car looked on Monday morning. I know those of you up north are probably laughing, but these are big icicles for the south!
No Aping Around
A shot from the Jackson Zoo. I almost forgot I had these photos. I visited on Thanksgiving day when my family was here from Oklahoma City. It's a nice little zoo, the perfect place to work up an appetite for a turkey dinner!
Icy Weather
The weather people were predicting ice, snow and all kinds of wintery stuff for Jackson today. It has been cold and rainy as you can see from these mini-icicles which formed in my backyard. I don't think we're going to be inundated with the white stuff though. Too bad, I was hoping for a work-at-home day tomorrow.
Bench Details
A close-up of the bench I showed you a few days ago. The details look especially nice in black and white.
Blue Skies at Last
After so much gray in Berlin, it was nice to see some shiny, blue skies in Davos! It's been raining quite a bit here in Jackson, but it hasn't been cold. I'm a little short on Jackson photos at the moment, so I hope you won't mind me cheating a bit with a few shots from my latest travels.
