Native American Festival in South Georgia @chehawpark

It seems like Spring Break starts at different times for different zones.  Some started their spring break back in February and some are just now finishing up their break now. We had a stay-cation for ours this year.  It is just too much to try and plan to go and do when everyone else is going and doing as well.  Well, we did actually go somewhere, just not your typical spring break destination, we went back to my hometown to visit my parents.  It is Albany, Georgia and for those that go to the beach, you could totally swing through on your way home and stay a day or two.   Anyways, we were there to visit and that's when I spotted it.  ("It" being the tee-pee's that are placed throughout the city.) It is an advertisement for the yearly tradition of the Indian Festival that is held at our local zoo. I thought it would be fun to take Broxton to see it, since I had not been since my teenage years.  I was lucky enough to get media passes to go and no...

Art Park

A few weeks ago, we went back to Albany (Georgia) and while there, I said I wanted to go and check out our "Art Park."  I had heard about it, but was really unsure what it was... From what I gathered, anyone (and I mean, anyone) can go in there and do any form of "art." The open air "art park." Up close, I did not notice that it was a girl.. I just saw lots of flowers...     But, once the photo was taken, it was all clear to me!!!! Broxton was not really sure what to expect! Just another form of "art" in the park! Wasn't really sure what this was...    I thought this was pretty neat...   and sweet!  I think they are supposed to go and paint over it, to make clean canvas for people to go and express themselves... I can not wait to go back and see what it looks like next time!!!! Do you have anything like this where you live?

Wait a Cotton Pickin' Minute...

Growing up in South Georgia, I took for granted many of the beautiful things around me... Looking around now, I see the beauty (at least it is to me) and I like to photograph it when I can. We see cotton ... Every single field we pass.... And Broxton loves yelling about the cotton and the cotton gins. So, of course, I had to stop and take a couple pictures. Hope you enjoy!
