Monday's Chimp Doesn't Do Mondays 11-28-16

Copyright 2016 AJ Horton

Hello and happy Monday.  My little chimpanzee says that he does not do Mondays.  I like his style.  There are many times that I don't want to do Mondays either.  I must do Mondays, just like everyone else and some are better than others.  I really try to make every day a good day, even Mondays.

I hope you had a good Monday today.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Sunday's Pee Dee Baptist Church 11-27-16

Hello and happy Sunday.  This is Pee Dee Baptist Church along Highway 73/74 in Rockingham, NC.  I have to say that it is beautiful from the highway, especially at night.  Since I wasn't riding by at night this time, you just have to settle for the day time pick.  Haha.  Even during the daytime, though, I think it's pretty.  

I hope you had a pretty Sunday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.  

Friday's Fish Finder 11-25-16

Hello and happy Friday.  Tonight I thought I would show you my Friday Fish Finder. You know, when I was younger, we had fish every Friday at school.  That's right - EVERY Friday; week after week after week.  It was always fried, too.  For the longest time, I thought that was the only way to cook fish.  But now, being the adult that I am, I have learned differently.  Rarely do I eat fried fish, mostly it's baked, steamed or on the grill.  Every now and then I even enjoy sushi.  The point is, all that fish on Friday as a child did not curb my enthusiasm for seafood.  It's quite likely that I eat fish three or four times a week.  That's still not as many times as this big, but graceful, Pelican eats fish per week.  I enjoy watching him fish whenever I get lucky enough.  The way he slams into the water, though, seems a little rough and looks like it might hurt a little.  It also looks like it would scare any fish away, but, he usually comes back up with a meal.  Fish for this guy!!

I hope you had a fabulous Friday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Thursday's Thanksgiving 11-24-16

Hello and happy Thursday.  It's also Thanksgiving here in the United States.  So, Happy Thanksgiving as well!  This is my Thanksgiving bird who lives in the Reynolds Aviary at the Asheboro NC Zoo.  I put him in pencil sketch in the Picasa program and lightened him a little and, well, here you go.  I had a wonderful day with family and friends and great food, too.  I am thankful for all my blessings.

I hope you had a thankful day also.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Tuesday's Wide Open Spaces 11-22-16

Hello and happy Tuesday.  This view reminds me of a song....  "Oh, give me land, lots of land - don't fence me in....." written by Bob Fletcher and Cole Porter.  Apparently, from Wikipedia, Bob Fletcher, from Helena, Montana wrote the poem, Cole Porter bought and "tweaked" the poem, composed the music and, well, now that song has been around since 1934.  Go ahead, have a listen to it on You Tube.  There are several different artists to choose from - choose to listen to one or all.  Afterwards, think about everywhere you've been and see if you have a place like this that reminds you of that song.  I'll bet that you do.  We all have a special, wide open place where we feel comfortable and free and love.

I hope you had a comfortable Tuesday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Monday's Peek-A-Boo Camellia 11-21-16

Hello and happy Monday.  Today I wanted to give you a little Peek-A-Boo inside the delicate Camellia flower.  I enjoy looking at this.  For a while now, I've been typing and then erasing the things I love about this inner portion of the Camellia.  When I re-read things I wrote, they just didn't seem to convey my feelings adequately.  I guess sometimes life is like that - sometimes we feel things so deeply or intensely that we just can't seem to describe them well enough for others.

I hope you've felt like today was a marvelous Monday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.

Hello and happy Sunday.  We were travelling down Highway 73/74 today and found a great view!  You're looking at Pee Dee United Methodist Church in Rockingham, NC.  As far as I was concerned today had the perfect sky and the changing leaf color made for good contrast on this pretty little church.  Today has been a great day.

I hope you also had a great Sunday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.
