I've been needing to get out and do some shooting (photos) to add to my vanishingdelta.com and southern-images stock collection. I left Monday morning at 6 a.m. without an agenda. Something wonderful always happens when I just start driving. This time it was rain. I've been accused by farmers of being a Rain Maker when I show up and the thunderclouds move in. I should have been out there sooner. Some places got 3 inches of rain in the Delta.
I made stops in Canton, Lexington (where I met Sally's husband Phil, who owns Cohen's Department Store), Pickens (a very short stop - there's a pink house there with a flower-decorated bycicle mounted on the outside wall ), Acoma (yeah, that's how you spell it -- even shorter stop), Greenwood and back around to final destination of Rosedale. I was searching for old store signs and those beautiful tiled store entrances that still exist in some of the small towns. Lexington really had quite a few. And, in addition to to that I make some macro portraits of a worm chewing his/her way into an ear of corn. This is why I'm not a wedding photographer: You can pinch the head off a squirmy worm but it doesn't go over well when you try it on an unruly bride!
So, I'm back and will try to get in some practice time on Thursday afternoon to prep for Saturday. Suz has set the big Garmin for 2:1. That sounds like a good cruising time to me. I'm voting for an overcast day on Saturday. Maybe I should bring the camera/rain maker along.
See ya,
Debra

I vote for overcast, too. See what you can do, okay?
Debra,
Sometime when you get the urge to cruise the delta again call me. We can make it a girl's trip and visit McCarty and Peter's Pottery. I will be very patient while you take pictures and will even help you spot them! We can even take my Mini!
