Wandering around Vicksburg

Purple martins at the Audubon Society butterfly garden on Washington Street.

Waiting on breakfast


I am guessing the cross on the front of the old ParkView Hospital will not always be there, so I went ahead and made a photo of it for the time when the cross will only be a memory.

You see these kinds of signs all through the Vicksburg National Military Park and they are nice and neat, but this one at the corner of Baldwins Ferry Road and Grove Street has been neglected for quite some time. I have never seen another one of these types of signs outside of the park, but I keep on looking.
My friend, Janie, over at southernlagniappe.blogspot.com inspired this photo, for the other day she ran a marvelous photo of two lawn chairs underneath a tree that was gorgeous in its simplicity. These two chairs were sitting in front of an old industrial building on North Washington Street and showing them in black-and-white just fit the mood of the photo.

A lone lily blooming in the Anshe Chesed Cemetery on Clay Street.

A magnolia tree provides plenty of shade for the Adler plot in the Anshe Chesed Cemetery.

  1. I love the birds waiting for breakfast, Marty ... what a great shot. And only you could turn the chairs into a work of art instead of just two dirty plastic chairs at a construction site (thank you for mentioning my blue ones).

  3. P.S. Marty, I am so far behind in my blogging. Life has gotten in the way. But I wanted you to know I have enjoyed everything on this page. There were some special favorites. As a matter of fact, there are too many favorites to comment on all the ones I missed of late. Hence I hope you will accept this compliment for all of them. :-)

  5. Truly a Mississippi picture with the Magnolia tree. They are one of my favorite trees since I was born in Vicksburg, Ms. My sister sent me your photos and they are all so good.
