Countdown #5

"Muffler Man"
This is Pals opened in 1958. This figure "Muffler Man" called Big Pal holding a hamburger on the roof of the establishment. I have showed and talked about some other Pal's in past photos.

Countdown to one year on 365 project...

5.This project has made me look at the world with new eyes. I have lived on my farm for ten years. This year was the first time I noticed the true beauty. I saw the smallest to biggest wildflower, all types of unusual insects, flowers, trees,birds, clouds. Everywhere I go there are new scenes I want to capture.

6. It has been wonderful seeing and learning about other parts of the world through the eyes of my 365 friends.

7. Through taking photos everyday I learned that taking photos are kind of like golf shots. Each photo could have been better if I would have moved a little or focused different.

8. I am thankful for the evenings spent with my husband looking at the days photos trying to decide which one to post on 365. He often asks " What exactly is the subject"? Many times I could not answer. That is probably why I started taking so many macro shots, haha!

9. This project has given me the discipline to take a photo a day regardless of the weather or my health. I am hoping to be as successful with other goals in my life.

10. This project has made me learn all of the buttons on my camera and my husbands camera which I have borrowed in the name of good photography.
My sister lives in TN. They love Pals. My brother-in-law is always stopping by pals for a sweet tea. I miss the South. Can't get sweet tea in New England. When you ask for sweet tea, they give you raspberry tea for some reason. They don't seem to be able to comprehend the difference between adding sugar to tea and adding raspberry flavoring.
Great photo. Love the colors!

@homeschoolmom Lisa, We raised our family in Kingsport and just as our boys were getting out of high school at DB we moved across the state line into Virginia on a sheep farm. My husband works in Kingsport and most of our friends live there. It is a small world.
