Boone Post Office

Boone Post Office, originally uploaded by boonejag75.

One of only two historical buildings on the National Register of Historical Places in Boone, the downtown post office stands on King Street. While no longer a full service post office due to the newer and larger one in town, basic functions (buying stamps and dropping post) still take place. The Town Of Boone purchased the building in 2008.

On a different note, if you’ve clicked on the picture to take you to the blog page, you’ll see that I’ve changed themes of the blog.  I was looking for a theme that would allow me to show the images in a larger size.  I never liked how small the other theme forced them to be.  This is an experiment and IF I decide to keep it, it needs a lot of work.  Feel free to let you know your thoughts about it.  Thanks!

I believe this a leaf beetle variety, but i’m waiting on someone to confirm it. He traveled up and down this nail posing the whole time.

The details in the shadows from this tree were so fantastic. Couple that with green spring grass and blue skies and it’s a spectacular subject.

Kayaks in a Row

I thought that the first days of spring deserved a colorful blast from one of my favorite pastimes; kayaking in coastal South Carolina marshes; more specifically on Hilton Head Island.

Fire!

Nothing says “Summer!” like a camp fire.  Don’t forget to find yours.
