Mall Road Construction

12 05 2008

Since I’ve been in Anderson (about 8 years), the back of Anderson Mall has been surrounded by trees. Development has come to the back! I can’t tell what this building will be, but I like the metal lines. Intersection of Mall Road — oops, Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. — and Civil Center Blvd.




Thanks, Mom

What a fun little birthday party this was. Yes, her mom made the mermaid cake, with a tail of green icing, that produced this face of wonder. For all you mothers out there — thanks for making us feel special. Happy Mother’s Day!




Empty

10 05 2008

Lily knocked this can on its side. It was upright, in the center of this sidewalk corner, all by itself. Weird. That’s why I noticed it. I walked over to look because of a friend’s story from his past job in a grocery store. Cans such as this, but mostly whipped cream, were found routinely empty, placed back on the shelf. So much so, that it was one of his duties to check the cans for “empties.” The theory is that huffers used the cans in the restroom and placed them back on the shelf. Weird.




Growing

Since I’ve been noticing the flora and fauna :) of Anderson — it has surprised me how in one part of town the Oak (?) trees are full of leaves, and then this little guy…He’s growing at his own pace. As long as he grows, that’s all that’s important. :)




I’m all mush

Is this not the CUTEST thing you have ever seen? I got to pet his adorable head between groups of squealing girls. *Kiss Kiss*




Enjoying the smalling things

Not an award-winning photograph — but I had to post because I just kept LOOKING at it. I love the older gentleman smelling the flowers and the smile of the younger woman, who I imagine to be the couple’s daughter.




Cool textures

6 05 2008

I saw this sign at the Anderson Soiree a couple of weekends ago. (I ran across those pics last night.) I don’t know if I noticed who did it — but looking at the picture now, it is really well done (even apart from the message, which is why I took the picture). I love the tire, the bits of colored clay, the plywood fiberous background. Very cool. And it’s cool, too, that the U.S. Postal Service (just in S.C.?) uses recycled materials in each vehicle.




New little trees

5 05 2008

Saturday was a half-rainy, half-sunny day. During the morning it was overcast and cool. My kind of weather! Chris Taylor Park.




Thinking

I never have trouble finding a parking space downtown, just not always as close to my destination as I would like. This space, a prime parking spot just off Murray, has very cleary been claimed. :)




Dusk

2 05 2008

I’ve been trying to watch the sun’s location more and shoot accordingly. I liked the light bathed on this street by the setting sun. (I just noticed that blueish / blurry thing in the yard of one of the houses. Up close it’s the windshield of a blue motorcylce. :) )
