I love the colors in this shot! The sky is so much more blue at this time of year. I can't figure out why but I enjoy every minute of it.

I think Alabama is every bit as stunning in the fall as in New England!

Is that tree growing out of a rock? Nice autumnal photo. Hope your class was of value. I'll have to check out any new paintings!

***** So this is my camera shy, self portrait. Two of my favorite foods are burgers and pizza. They didn't have pizza at work today, so I settled for the burger. On whole wheat, with ketchup, onions, tomatoes, and lettuce. Nothing beats a good burger. Except maybe a good burger and a beer. ***** Follow the link to view more camera shy self portraits from other city daily photo bloggers.  *****

The Holland Mansion

The Holland Mansion is named, I believe, after Holland Creek and was built for the first mayor of Phenix City. This house has been bought and sold a few times since I have lived in the area but I guess the previous owners bit off more than they could chew when it came to the type and expense of changes that would be needed.

About 8 years ago, the house was in foreclosure with an asking price of 150k. (They probably would have taken 75k.) I got the key and went right over. She is glorious with the exception of some bad renovation ideas and the fact the one of the previous owners had pulled all eight of the fireplace mantels. I assume to help pay for renovations.

She is a 3500 sq. ft shotgun, with beautiful moldings, pocket doors, and high ceilings. I don't know if she has been purchased, but today no one lives here.
