Biloxi, MS

DSCF3659

Dennis wrote me a message in the sand. When I was a kid I went to Biloxi a couple of times with my grandparents for vacation. It was nice to visit again and things look waaaaay different than they did way back then, lol.

Windsor Ruins, Mississippi

DSCF2947

Built in 1861, it survived the Civil War only to be destroyed by an accidental fire Feb 17, 1890, the only things surviving were the columns and some metal rails.

Vicksburg

DSCF2913

On our way to Louisiana we stopped by the national park in Vicksburg. We did the speedy tour, driving and looking, not much stopping, but at least we got to see it.

somewhere warmer

Sunshine is good for the soul!  Using its warmth to keep me from the downward spiral.

armadillo

012711


I had to go pretty far south of my house to find a patch of grass not covered by snow. Seems all my backgrounds have been white for so long that I forgot what grass looked like.  What I wouldn't give to have a hard outer shell like an armadillo.  If my armor didn't work maybe I could bend into a ball and just roll away to a better place.

Armadillos are pretty weird looking. Hairs along each section and on the face.
