Cherry blossoms in December show the unseasonable weather in Greenville, SC As demonstrated by this photo the weather is very confusing in Greenville.

A painter enjoying the day at Falls Park in Greenville, SC This photo was taken yesterday at lunch when I walked though the park. It raises the issue of who enjoys a scene more a painter or a photographer. As much as I like photography this photo argues in favor of the painter. What do you think?

Recently we found a restaurant and bar called Chicora Alley and it is now become a favorite of ours for a later afternoon meal. The photo posted today is from a mural at the top of the stairs leading to Chicora Alley. There are a few other establishments in the second floor of buildings on Main Street however not many. It is fun discovering them.

The 8 O’Clock Grocery Store

The 8 O'Clock Grocery Store in Greenville, SC This photo, of the 8 O’clock grocery store, was taken on my walk last weekend in the Augusta road area near downtown. This is an interesting store mainly because the owner of this grocery store has been there forever and greets his customers by name. However, the reason I share this photo is as a pun to remind me that after a week away from work I have to start work again at 8 o’clock today.

The Hyatt Regency Hotel

The Hyatt Regency hotel in downtown Greenville, SC This photo was taken last weekend on an extended walk and photo hunt which covered both ends of downtown. During that walk I passed the Hyatt Regency hotel and was surprised to notice the triangle shape of one wing in the hotel. Can you imagine how they positioned the bed in the rooms at the point of the triangle? … I was traveling this week and spent a lot of time in hotels. It was great to see relatives and it is great to be back home in Greenville.
