February, 2006

This photo is of the fountain and snow geese sculptors at the Greenville/Spartanburg Airport. A plaque says that Jim Dolan is the sculptor and that the work was done in 1996. You can tell from the lighting that it was an early morning for me when I took this photo. One of the great things about living in Greenville is that you can fly to anywhere and not have to suffer the difficulties of a large airport. Note that the Greenville/Spartanburg Airport website has a real-time flight viewing map which shows the weather and the location of planes arriving and departing from airport.

This weekend we celebrated valentines a little late. We had an outstanding meal at a Bed and Breakfast called La Bestide. Click here to see a Google map showing the location. La Bestide is just a 20 minute drive from downtown Greenville. The view of the Blue Ridge mountains is worth the drive as well. This photo was inspired by the February 19th post at San Francisco Daily Photo. The outstanding photo at the San Francisco Daily Photo blog presents reflections of San Francisco architecture as seen in a wine glass. While the photo in my post reflects more on the mood of the evening.

What does one do on a rainy overcast Saturday in Greenville South Carolina. Will in our case we had bagels at Coffee Underground, worked on the DailyPhotoMap, then we dropped by Barnes and Noble. In addition this evening we are going out to eat at a bed and breakfast (La Bastide) a few miles outside of town. Hopefully the sun will shine tomorrow and I can take some photos.

It is very rare to find only one customer at the Fresh Market meat counter. As a result I took the opportunity to show our favorite place to buy meat and produce. Fresh Market is a short ten minute drive form downtown Greenville. Click here to see their location.

This photo is of red buds on a tree next to a parking lot downtown in Greenville.

These rocks were recently moved into the River Place construction site. It is my understanding they are being used to build a rock garden next the Reedy River. Click here to see the rocks being used.

This photo is of a crew pressure washing the Hyatt Regency hotel.
