Building 3 Art

This piece of art is on the front of Building 3 on the State Capitol Complex in Charleston, WV. This mosaic style piece includes a lady standing in the center of six scenes (which I assume represent different industries). Below the lady is the state motto, Mountani Semper Liberi which means Mountaineers are Always Free.

WV Veterans Memorial

The WV Veterans Memorial is located on the WV Capitol Complex.

Don't Mess With A Lad in Plaid

I had the opportunity once again to visit the Virginia Scottish Games this year. They were located in The Great Meadow in The Plains, Virginia about 45 minutes from D.C. This is a very unique festival that anyone can attend with paid admission. They have multiple vendors setup with clothing, gifts and food.

Smithsonian National Zoo

I took this photo of a tiger on display at the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington, D.C. during Labor Day weekend 2009.

Fresh Step Toilet

We spotted this homemade toilet while leaving the Jimmy Buffet concert at the Nissan Pavilion over Labor Day weekend. I know it's gross, but it makes for a good laugh.

Crystal Chandelier

Starbucks Coffee

We recently stopped at this stand alone Starbucks Coffee near Canton, Ohio. It was conveniently located beside of an Einstein's Bro. Bagels, which made for a yummy pitstop!

The Dancing Outlaw

A photo with Jesco White, Mamie White and myself at Appalachian Power Park in Charleston, WV. Jesco is a Boone County native that was made popular by his wild and reckless lifestyle captured in the documentery "Dancing Outlaw".

Bobblefoot Billboard

I passed this billboard while in Danville, WV today. Jesco White will be at the Appalachian Power Park on August 4, 2009. They will also be giving away Jesco Bobblefoot dolls to the first 1,000 guests. See you there...

Heavenly View

This photo of Jesus was taken at Cunningham Memorial Park in St. Albans, WV in January 2009.

Ten Commandments

I shot this photo back in January 2009 at Cunningham Memorial Park in St. Albans, WV. I spent an afternoon there taking photo's of different statues and enjoying the great details within each statue.

The Bank of Glen Jean

The Bank of Glen Jean is located in Fayette County, WV. Built in 1909, the bank operated until 1939. An interesting fact about this building, is that the exterior walls are 28 inches thick. It also has a roof and floor of steel construction. The addition in the rear of the building was added on in 1917.

Creepy Crawler

I saw this creepy crawler while at a family reunion last week.

St. Albans Sunset

Croaked

While in Florida a couple months ago I decided to try something new. We ordered an order of frog legs and an order of gator tail. I must the admit that the gator tail was excellent. It taste like tough chicken. The frog legs on the other hand, weren't to much to brag on. They taste like swampy chicken. Definitely not what I had expected. Either way, it was neat to be able to try new things.

Forever "The King of Pop"

Today I watched the Michael Jackson memorial service held in Los Angeles, Ca. It brought back many memories for me. Growing up I listened to Michael Jackson, Lionel Ritchie and many of the other Motown artists on a regular basis. I owned the Michael Jackson action figure, trading cards and of course his music. Today we honor the "King of Pop", The inventor of the "moon walk" and most importantly one of the greatest music artists on Earth. Rest In Peace MJ.
