Each of these drawings were done in 2003 but DeRidder High School students.
I love all the detail that was put into old buildings.
Travels
Places I have Visited
Independence Botanical Gardens
Baton Rouge has made a lot of improvement to their Botanical Garden since my last trip. I will need to make another trip for better pictures.
None of my trips turn out how I expect.
Rosedown Plantation 2018
Rosedown Plantation is a beautiful experience even on a hot day.
Clark Creek
Clark Creek, Woodville, MS. Bring the insect repellant. It was well worth the hike to the waterfalls.
Mom’s Flowers
Mom likes to grow flowers. Dad’s likes to grow fruit trees.
Baton Rouge Zoo – 2018
This is my first visit to the Baton Rouge Zoo since Bill Black, a.k.a. Buckskin Bill, passed away. He was a local celebrity that hosted a children show for decades. In the 1960s, he encouraged children to collect pennies to purchase an elephant because Baton Rouge needed a zoo. The kids collected enough pennies to buy two elephants. One of the elephants was named Penny.
The zoo no longer have elephants because the habit is not up to the new regulations. This has upset all the children that collected pennies.
Wood Carving by Allen Crochet
I found these work of art at the Rural Life Museum today.
Highland Road Park
Nice day for a walk in the park.
Mississippi Gulf Coast
From Long Beach to Waveland, Mississippi.
Biloxi and Gulfport, Mississippi
I just don’t know where Biloxi ends and Gulfport begins. Or, vise versa if you are coming from the west.
