Legendary actress Tallulah Bankhead was born in this building, in a second floor apartment, in 1903. The building was not known as the Schiffman Bldg. until after it was sold to the Schiffman's in 1905.
She went on to become an International star of stage, screen, and later television.
Tallulah died in 1968 having lived a colorful life!
The photo was taken 15 October 2006. I ran across it recently while backing up and archiving my catalog of photographs.

We've decided to spruce up the yard.
You have to admit, it is a bit more of a conversation piece than a Garden Gnome!

| Downtown Huntsville |
| We recently took a dual purpose safari to an old cemetery, then when it began to get too dark, we went into the downtown area of Huntsville and took advantage of dusk and lit buildings. |
| Hand Held |
| Both photos, at, left, were taken hand held…. |

A PHOTO BLOG
I have decided to convert my blog into a Photo Blog. I have opinions on a variety of subjects, but am not the best at conveying the thoughts that I formulate into the written word.
So here is my first installment. |

We recently drove up to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Along the way we stopped at the site of the ’94 Olympic Kayaking course and took a few snaps.
Pictured here, is a fire watch tower along the bank of the Ocoee River. The leaves had yet to begin turning at such a low elevation, but up in the mountains, along the Parkway, they were gorgeous. Unfortunately for us, we were in the clouds for the next 3 days. No views, but occasional glimpses of glorious color.
Cheers for now…

Well, after a few days of down time, I have revamped this site.
My photo galleries have been changed so I have a little more control over content, size and use.
Autumn has finally arrived in North Alabama, so as the colours begin to change, I hope to get out and take some interesting photographs….
We recently returned from the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, where we sat for a few days in the clouds… On one afternoon, we were able to get out in an abbreviated photo safari.
I will be putting some of the pictures up in my gallery later today!
Cheers for now!

Well, our friend Bill, who is a great “handy” guy, was almost finished with the repair of our shed, when he went inside to add concrete panels to the wall, when he found TERMITES. Well, that put everything behind, as far as finishing the shed….
We had some spray for carpenter ants and termites, Bill removed the door from the side shed and we are letting the area dry out and continue to spray the affected areas every day…
My husband, son, and I went out and cleared most of the area around the wall where the termites have nested. We moved thing, threw things out, and got rid of an old desk that was made of particle board that was falling apart, not just due to the termites but also the moisture that the old side shed configuration allowed to exacerbate!
Well, it will be a few weeks before we can get back in and remedy the damage to the shed. Bill won’t be available until then!
We will have to replace some of the plywood flooring, the wall in one section, the building was constructed right on top of the ground… Not on any kind of pier! Well, it will be repaired soon enough!
Wish us luck!
