The big clock in downtown Smithfield.

2011-12-28T19:29:00.001-05:00

I need to get back and take this shot at night.

2011-12-27T20:40:00.001-05:00

DNA will put you back on the street.

The Heritage Center in downtown Smithfield, NC.

2011-12-04T11:15:00.001-05:00

I just love the “Frosty the Snow Man” Christmas decoration in Smithfield.

2011-12-03T12:49:00.001-05:00

I went over to the Medical Mall to take some pictures at the Festival of Trees. Worked hard, so I decided to reward myself with a hamburger steak at the Diner in downtown Smithfield. As I was walking back to the car, I looked up an saw this flag unfurled in the wind; could not pass up this shot.

2011-11-27T17:03:00.001-05:00

I was in the historic district of downtown Selma when I took this picture.

2011-11-25T21:15:00.001-05:00

Selma has the Christmas lights on.

2011-11-18T21:17:00.001-05:00

If you did't register you missed the game.

2011-11-10T16:50:00.001-05:00

Trying to take a picture of the tree and the mirror got in the way – cuss.

2011-11-07T20:00:00.002-05:00

This is how all railroad crossings should be built. Look, no bumps when the truck crosses the tracks. I wish they would use this design for the Ricks Road crossing.

2011-11-06T20:57:00.001-05:00

The evening sun has an orange tint that causes the autumn colors to explode. I took this picture about 4 pm. Today.

2011-11-05T12:02:00.001-05:00

On Wednesday I was uptown Selma taking pictures when I came upon this dog in the back seat of a car. I went up to the open window and asked if I could take his picture. He did not respond verbally, but he did point his ears in an upward direction and give me this pose. I am glad that he did not show me his teeth. I would have taken that as a “no pictures”.

Not your automatic toaster.

2011-09-28T19:26:00.002-05:00

This is the type of toaster we had when I was young. You toast one side, flip it over and toast the other side. Yes we had a lot of burnt toast.

Sunset at the Depot.

2011-09-27T20:09:00.002-05:00

I was at the depot hoping to get a picture of a train - no trains so I took this picture.

Electric Power

2011-09-13T19:45:00.002-05:00

When you flip your light switch to the on position, do you ever wonder where your electric power comes from? Did it come from the Sharon Harris Nuclear Plant, the Roxboro coal fired plant or did it come from Smith Mountain Hydroelectric plant? Can we request what type of power we would like to receive?
