Inspirational Thursday-Walking Thru Shreveport
June 19, 2013
Not long ago we were in Shreveport
for our youngest daughter's graduation from
college. While there we took time out to experience some
of the local cuisine and stopped along the way so I could take
a snapshot or two
I truly enjoy experiencing the cultures of different regions that are in
our own country, I find these experiences so inspiring.
Isn't this bench charming- we sat here while waiting for a table at
Superior Grill. I have never seen one like this before, have you?
Love this old retro-sign, as strange as it may seem Superior's claim
to fame is superior Mexican dining. I know, I never really thought
of Louisiana as a Tex-Mex sort of State.
little retired boat sitting next to a field and hay, I couldn't resist- still
makes me chuckle...
I seem to equate Southern with wrought iron-so naturally I had to
have a photo of the heavy black wrought iron fence.
I could not resist this brightly painted fire hydrant-love this color
combination.
Of course an old and abandoned Office supply building always,
always has so much character.
So, a look through a lens - a walk thru Shreveport, and a greater
appreciation for the wonders of the United States.
Wondering what region of the United States inspires you?

Older cities are so interesting. There's a sense of slowness that allows one to take their time to absorb it all. The busy-ness of large, modern cities, imparts a feeling to hurry up and get it done and over, with no time to appreciate the small details.
ReplyDeleteI love the photos! I've never been to Shreveport but it looks fantastic judging by your photos!

I have never been there either. But I love that shutter and I love the red color - I have a pinterest of things like that and I am going to pin it. So pretty. sandie
ReplyDeleteWhat an enjoyable series of images! My favorites are always the ghost signs in these old towns. You found many interesting things to share. ;-)

Hi Jemma,
ReplyDeleteHow lucky we are in blogland to get to travel vicariously through such charming cities across the world! I love your choice of subjects, especially the fire hydrant collage, for its colours, textures and feeling it evokes of days gone by. Thanks so much for taking us along this wonderful and whimsical walk around Shreveport!
Hope you have a fun weekend!
