Scavenger Hunt Sunday - UN...

This week all of the prompts for Scavenger Hunt Sunday began with the prefix "Un".  I thought that was very inventive and a little challenging.  So, I headed down to the local Farmers Market to see if I could satisfy all of the prompts in one location.  Here we go.

Unplugged

You will notice that there are NO power tools anywhere is sight of this local artisan.  Just a hand axe, a pencil and some blocks of wood.  What is he making you ask.



He is making these beautiful wood bowls.  Obviously, there are no two alike.  You just have to appreciate this kind of creativity and craftsmanship.

Unassuming

When viewed from a distance, there are three of these handrails on the steps of the local County Courthouse.  They are pretty unassuming.  But, when you focus you attention on a single section and crop out the clutter, I think they provide a most interesting pattern.  I guess that's just the architect coming out in me.

 



Unleashed

This happy fellow would love to be unleashed to go meet and greet everyone at the Farmers Market.

 

Unapproachable

This guardian of the square is somewhat unapproachable.  He's twenty feet off of the ground and in the middle of a fountain.  Yes, Arkansas was a Confederate state during the Civil War and this soldier is a monument to those who fought and died during that conflict.  Brave men fought and died on both sides of the war and the fact that the ideals of the Confederacy are in conflict with our society, it does not diminish the courage that these men displayed.

 



Unaware

On any given Saturday morning there will be one or several street musicians at the Farmers Market.  What better way to practice your music and become accustomed to playing for an audience?  This young lady was unaware of my presence at this moment.  A few seconds later...

 



 

I was busted.  It was a good morning at the market.  I picked up some home grown tomatoes before I left.  Have a blessed day.

Inspiration Thursday - Musically Speaking

 

I'm going to extend my theme of letting the music speak for me.  Last week I picked a couple of songs from contemporary artists and are leaders in current praise and worship music.  Today I think I will let the hyms of the church do the talking.  Most of us who were children of the 50's and 60's know many of these songs by heart.  We sang them every Sunday.  They were our praise and worship.  Have a blessed day.

Wordless Wednesday

That's Close Enough

The Real Thing

 

Summer is finally here.  The kids are out of school and it's time for family fun.  Over the past few years, a multitude of beverages have come to the market place that offer cold refreshment on a hot summer day.  Many of them are low/no sugar, low sodium, low/no caffeine, etc.  I like many of these new offerings, but when you factor in everything that you are looking for in a summer drink, it's hard to beat "The Real Thing."


It just doesn't get much better than pulling aluminum cans from this vintage cooler, that have been burried in ice for several hours.

Skywatch Friday - Rainbow Sky

Rainbow Sky

After a heavy rain there is always the exciting possibility that the sun will come out and we will get to see a rainbow.  Ocassionally we may even see a double rainbow.  However, there are those sunsets when the whole sky seems to be a rainbow and we are "Overcome" by the beauty of God's creation.
