Mug Jugs, Butterflies & Cemetaries

Mug Jugs, Butterflies & Cemetaries

Lazy day in Georgia, this Sunday was. It began with an afternoon trip to the local arts festival, where I snapped this artists' work.
Vendor was an outgoing, spirited soul & it shows through in his work Unusual for most potters, this stuff was microwave, dishwasher & oven safe...all lead free.
While we were there, we got some of the best damn salsa I have ever had. It's called Black Eye Pea salsa & was made in Cave Springs, Georgia. Some things, you can only get in the South.


Since art show only had 30-50 vendors, we still had a full day of nice weather before us, so we stopped by the neighborhood cemetary. Here we found the namesake for the street I live on, the headstone to the boy who was killed last spring down the street in a drug deal gone bad & what I beleive to be the tombstone of the late Fred Flintstone.

Finally, I was able to capture a pic of this crazy little butterfly that seemed to be following me from tombstone to tombstone. I always feel a special something when they let me take their picture. Their lives are so short & they seem to constantly flutter...so much to do in such a small amount of time. I'd rather be a butterfly, than an ant anyday, even though the ant lives longer, is more social, has more strength & accomplishes more...
