Hanging out with the big brain, Bettie Louise Carroll (my mom)
This tree I can see from my front door. All the money in the world couldn’t buy this. Its in the center of a town square and the the buildings are arranged so the top of the tree’s canopy catches the morning sun first. It’s just magical.
8 inches of snow in south Alabama and it’s still snowing.
My mother skeptical that it will snow tomorrow
Here are few pics I took at Blue Springs state park a while back and one of a friend that owns a nearby food truck. Perfect post for such a cold day and snow being expected.
The first photos with the Fuji X100VI. So far – impressed. I do want to thank KEH for helping me through the years, especially Arthur Zebrak. (Exposure 1 in the parking lot of KEH camera and Autiemae my blue heeler, Wren my mother's therapy dog).

The next chapter. The path of simplicity begins today for me. I have my faith, dogs, banjo and camera. If I am saved it is by the power of repentance and an undying faith in God. The past is the rearview mirror, I shall seek the light moving forward.
47 years ago my father bought me a camera for my 13th birthday. I picked out a camera strap he said “ looked hippie”. I still have it and am forever grateful to him starting my journey of photography.

If you want to know why the US government is dysfunctional and 36 trillion in debt just visit your local social security administration office. No one is here but they are calling numbers for appointments that don’t exist. Refusing to meet with anyone that doesn’t have an appointment. But if you call the 800 number to make an appointment you stay on hold for a long time until they finally say “due to the large volume of calls – call back at a later time”. .
