Smoky Mountains-I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I love this place.

And yes, I watch and love Ninjago, even as an AFOL!

Took Swamp Creature out for some wetness after a rainstorm.

Missing my nephew

This was where we had our last dinner together. The next day he shipped out for Marine boot camp. Around 5 weeks now he's been gone. I'm so worried.

Fiberglass Public Art

All around the country, and the world even, there are exhibits of public art. They are usually a standard shape and size and decorated by businesses and organizations, usually in a manner featuring their shtick. It began in 1998 in Zurich, Switzerland and brought to America for the "Cow Parade" in Chicago.

These are some of the specimens I have come across in my travels:

Horse in Gettysburg 2003

Catfish out of Water, Classic Black, in Nashville 2003

Guitars in Nashville 2005

Horse in Louisville 2011

(actually I'm not sure if this is part of a theme, or just a random painted horse in a town known for it's ponies!)

Jenkins gone

This was the Jenkins House, it served as a hospital during the Battle of Stones River. But the owner didn't care and tore it down in 2006. There is still an empty lot there.

Ebenezer Church

Ebenezer Methodist Church, near Chuckey, Tennessee. 

The congregation was founded by my 7th Great-Grandfather, Henry Earnest. He and his son, Felix, both served with John Sevier in the Revolutionary War and are buried in the cemetery beside the church.
