(ANCIENT sand dunes) HILLS HERE

The Rainbow River on an atypical day (no crowds) at the 484 bridge in Dunnellon

I found this huge red bow on the side of the road when I was taking wildflower pictures a few weeks ago.  I put it on that nearby fire hydrant for my Uncle Jimmy, who was a fireman in Columbus, Ohio and passed away a few years ago.

 

I have wanted to paint this black plastic mailbox for a while now and finally did it.  Now I just have to worry about  whether or not the local "tweekers" will steal it. Looks real eh?  I am still hillbilly through and through y'all.

Ah the Redbuds are in bloom here too!
