2020 Jan 27, Enjoying a warm winter's day

It was so nice to finally see 👀the sun today, with a nip of cold air still about. I have not been out much because of the cold winter rain. 

I rode to the Rock Pile at TVA Dam hoping to see an eagle and maybe some waterfowl.

I saw a few waterfowl but no eagles. 

I meet  Steve Lovell a great photographer who has a website on Facebook where he posts some of his photographs.

TVA Dam & Waterfowl 

I stopped at the TVAM to view the art on display that was donated by Wanda and Bill Isom. 


Every room was filled with art that they had collected over the years. One room was filled with Japanese block art. 

The hall was filled with the art of birds. 

The Main gallery was full of large lithography of birds. 

In the back room was a variety of art including a Norman Rockwell piece and a Van Gogh piece. 

Loved the displays.


White Muted Swan
Canadian Geese 
Domestic geese
My next stop was Spring Park ( Growing up I spent many hours playing at this park).
Spring Park has a man-made waterfall that is fed by a spring that flows into the pond below. 
Permanent residents are two Muted White Swans.
Other waterfowl that can be found here are Black Muscovy Ducks, White  Muscovy Ducks, Domestic Ducks, Mallard Ducks, Canadian Geese, and others. 
A Great place to get pictures of waterfowl. 
We had a lot of rain this year and Spring Park was flooded. A couple of rides were completely covered in water and are no longer in use.  

My granddaughter-in-law owns a beauty school in Sheffield so I stopped in to visit with her and my great-grandson. Hayne is just a doll, so cute, lovable, and sweet. 

Big Box of Chicken and fixin' from Bojangles
Hubby would be home from work soon so I stopped at Bojangles to pick up a box of chicken and the fixings for supper. 🍗
It was a beautiful day not too hot or not too cold. 
Hope we have more days like today.
