Christmas Lights at Cheekwood

On Friday, December 4, I toured the beautifully decorated Cheekwood art museum and botanical gardens. The day was overcast and wintry. As we entered the lobby, I asked at the desk for permission to photograph the Christmas trees and other decorations, and got a yes. In general, photographs are not allowed of the museum's collection of paintings and sculptures. Below, a snowman was keeping warm on one of the terraces:

St. Nicholas Day

Have a look at Dierk Haasis's great image, on his Zuihitsu blog, and enjoy St. Nicholas Day! (Click on the post title, above, to go there.)

Walking in Edwin Warner Park

A path through a wooded area adjoining the Nature Center at Edwin Warner Park is said to be the old roadbed of a portion of the original route of the historic old Natchez Trace, which has run between Nashville, Tennessee, and Natchez, Mississippi, from the earliest days of these settlements.



Cobblestones in the path hinder walking a bit, especially in muddy areas strewn with wet leaves.
