The Confederate Rose Marks the Last of Summer
This is the first year we have actually had a Confederate Rose (bush, plant, tree) in the garden and we waited all summer for it to bloom. But apparently they are the last hold outs of the summer and once they finally started blooming it was clear, the summer is on its way out. No…

Last Breath of Summer from a Beach in Gulf Shores
Busyness has many enemies, but to me, one of the greatest causalities of busyness is the loss of creativity. When life turns into a checklist of task items the thing that loses out, at least in my life, is always the creativity of reading, writing, photography, poetry, contemplation, prayer, games, music, and so on. Many…

The Sunset is Just an Amazing Display of God in Creation
We have had a stormy few days leading up to Christmas this year, with some really weird warmer weather. I took this photo above yesterday with my cell phone as I was walking across the pasture to my house. I had forgotten something at my house that I needed to fix my mom’s computer, and…

Massive Fog Bank Settles over Our Auburn Trees :: P365 [Day 8]
![Massive Fog Bank Settles over Our Auburn Trees :: P365 [Day 8]](https://scottfillmer.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/3sf_6559.jpg?w=1024)
Every year as the seasons change this tree puts on a different face. I’m guessing I have taken 100’s of photos of this one particular tree, and every shot looks different. Today we had a fog-bank cloud descend over the property making visibility a few hundred feet or so giving me this shot. The weather…

Time For Chopping and Splitting Wood :: Friday Feet
That cold-ish time of year has come again, even down here in the south. On Wednesday it was almost 80*F, and now it looks like all that warm air is gone for now. One of the things we love about our house in the winter is our Lopi wood burning stove, but it takes a…

No Refunds in Auburn for City Schools Fall Festival :: Friday Feet
I’m playing catchup today with some photos I took earlier in the week. My countdown clock to Uganda (we leave on Wednesday) is running faster than a normal clock it seems and I didn’t get a chance to post these Tuesday night after the festival. So, today’s Friday Feet comes from the Auburn City School…

2011 Auburn Football Starts My 40th Season :: 5 Photo Outtakes
Well I know we all know down here in the south that the 2011 football season is only a few days away, but after seeing so much posted on the internet about Auburn’s upcoming season I had to go back and look at the last 5 years or so and revisit what I shot through…

Fall is Fire on the Mountain with Yellow Aspen Leaves
Ok, well maybe not here in Auburn, but right now, the Aspen groves of the Rockies are ablaze with color. After flipping back over some fall photos of the last few years I came across this one, taken at this exact time of year, but at the 11,000 foot range in the Rockies. You can’t…

Another Beautiful and Colorful Fall Day in Alabama
What a difference just a few days makes in the fall. This is what our tree (and swing) looked like this afternoon. Compare that to this Fall Has Finally Arrived in Alabama, and My Swing Loves It, taken just a few days ago. It was a totally different time of day of course, but the…

Fall Colors Arrive on My Tree Swing in Alabama
The temperature yesterday did get close to the forcasted 78*F but the leaves on the trees are starting to turn colors. Our place is covered in a small forest of pine trees and just a few hard wood trees which are mostely these Sweetgum Tree which most people around this part of the country consider…

View of Our House from a Tree Swing :: Friday Feet
This is sort of a follow up to Do You Have a Quiet and Peaceful Place to Hide? which for some reason is one of my highest traffic posts and also A Foggy Summer Morning in Auburn Alabama (both different views of the swing). This is yet another view from our tree swing, this time…

Alabama in the Fall Where Sunrises are Still Beautiful
I don’t know if I want to say this is a typical sunrise here in Alabama or not (I think they are all different every single day), but it is still beautiful. It reminds me of a calm coolish (certainly not cold yet) Saturday morning here in Alabama. Auburn plays Vanderbilt tonight, which means there…
