Not everyone likes Black and White, I do, but then again, I like both. Before thinking of your opinion, click on the Black and White photo to enlarge it.
Any thoughts?

I am planning on a Black and White project and have my first picture. It is one from last weeks trip to Chattanooga and it is of the chandelier in the Choo-Choo Hotel. It was shot in color and then converted to Black and White. One can change a photo from color to Black and White, but not from Black and White to color.

Yesterday was a great day to get out for an all day excursion. Apart from the Spring flowers having not blossomed at this time, it was a beautiful time.
First stop was to the English Rose Tea Room on Market Street. I had the Dover Sole and Caramelized Pear Tea and as usual, it was wonderful as always.
Next stop was across the street to the old Union Station, which is now the Choo-Choo Hotel. The chandelier is off the lobby and I have taken before. Elegant.
"Pardon me boys, but is that the Chattanooga Choo-Choo...?"
Why, yes it is!
The flowers and fountains are in a state of winter... So, we hopped on the FREE trolley bus to downtown and the Riverfront. One of the main goals was to walk across the Walnut Street Bridge, which is now a pedestrian bridge.
I could not help but notice the Sewer/Man-hole cover. Very nice! As far as Sewer/Man-hole covers go.
The Walnut Street Bridge was closed to traffic in 1978 and was going to be demolished, however, it was converted to a pedestrian bridge in 1993.
Off the the southside of the bridge, is the Market Street bridge, also known as the John Ross Bridge, which is a drawbridge.
This is a picture of the ironwork railing, Great pattern.
I took this picture previously a few years ago. I erased the post that holds up the Weathervane Horse to make it look as if the horse was jumping over the building.

Here is a treat, at least for me! Oh, you can have The Donut Sundae.

Signs of spring are beginning to appear...at least in Georgia. I saw these daffodils on the way to church on Sunday morning and a big smile came on my face.
Weather we see the signs of spring or the date on a calendar, this winter will soon be behind us. Have you ever noticed that spring puts a spring in our steps?
Cheer up, things could be worse. So the old codger cheered up and "sho nuff," they got worse!

Have you ever wondered what your old girlfriend from high school or college looks like today?
The words of John Debrine ring in my ears...along with tinnitus.
"I would rather go through life not having what I want than go through life having what I don't want."

Back to reality... this is what greets you as you enter into Jackie's Too restaurant at Perkin's Cove in Ogunquit, ME. We eat there about every time we walk the Marginal Way. Here is a view from our table.
The next two pictures are of Perkin's Cove.

I just do not know if I am coming or going... and that is no CROC!
or is it???
Compare the pictures of our back yard taken a week apart.
And this is what the day brings forth...
As an Al Gore impressionist, I probably should stick to my day job...
Where is that mangy Groundhog?

Yesterday, we could REMEMBER enjoying beautiful weather. Today, it is back to REALITY.
It rains a lot in Georgia and there is a tendency to complain about it. To which I reply, "At least we do not have to shovel it."
The northeast is knocking on the door of setting all-time records for snow fall. The ice that we are experiencing has its own set of issues, but it does go away quickly; sometimes. Snow...it last all Winter. Bah, Humbug!
The first two pictures are of a birch tree. The last two pictures are of a tree in our back yard. You are able to see the difference that ice makes when it coats trees. In a stretch of less than one mile on Georgia Route 20, there were at least 10 trees and or large tree limbs that had to be cleared from the road. We have a large limb, from our neighbor's pine tree, laying in our back year.
On the bright side... there is definitely beauty in snow and ice. We just have to look for it beyond the immediate.

Remember when...
"Those were the days my friend. I thought they'd never end."
It won't be long... Spring is coming!
