Train at sunset






Last week, my daughter, Susan, and I rode over to Mound, La., to see the sun set over a little bayou that I love to shoot. We were early, so we rode on down the road and noticed how the sun was hitting the railroad tracks that parallel Hwy. 80. It was as if golden ribbons  or large rope lights had been laid upon the tracks. It was a wonderful sight. And before you know it, here came a train. As it passed, it kicked up so much dust and I took photos of it as it went directly into the sun. I thought I did not get any good photos until I got home and saw what I had taken. The more  I  looked at them, the more I liked them. It was one of those magical moments and I am glad I was able to share them with my daughter.

Here are some random shots I took last week that I thought you would enjoy. The bayou in Mound is one of my favorite places to shoot. I took it on the way home from Monroe to watch the Warren Central Vikings play in a tournament there.

Belle of the Bends on Klein Street has one of the prettiest yards in Vicksburg. It is unmatched in its beauty when the azaleas bloom! The owners, Mary and Dan Lee, are pretty special, also!
