They have all kinds of very interesting exhibits throughout the jail. Many of the rooms were repurposed to house exhibits. They have a lot of Civil War era items. We went all the way down into the dungeon and that was pretty wild. I'm so glad I went there. It was a great experience. I may post some of the other photos I took in the next day or two.Margie Gackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05226661760566004941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687024592272365811.post-31983999627163892932016-01-15T10:30:48.620-05:002016-01-15T10:30:48.620-05:00interesting, never heard of this place.

I checked his Web site and it mentioned that his incredible music was inspired by George Winston and David Lanz, two of my favorite musicians. I was so disappointed when I went online to order CDs of his beautiful music that it was only available on download - not CD. Sadly, that's beyond my 'technology' capability at this point.<br />Thank you again Margie, for sharing you skill as a photographer and your friendship with me.<br /><br />Giant hug to you -<br />Dan Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687024592272365811.post-41354270372658729572014-10-31T19:47:20.621-04:002014-10-31T19:47:20.621-04:00Thanks, Barbara!

I've been busy lately and I just saw the comments that you wrote that didn't get posted. I think I'll extend the amount of time for comments because I'm not getting any spam. I have it set up that any comments to posts older than 3 days have to be moderated before they post. I want to block the spam but I want to make sure I let the nice folks post! I haven't read that book but I looked it up on Amazon. It does look like something I'd enjoy. I think I'm going to buy it! Thanks for telling me about it. Again, I'm sorry your comments didn't post in a timely fashion. I'll do better next time!Margie Gackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05226661760566004941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687024592272365811.post-10152927727591675532014-07-29T14:35:16.383-04:002014-07-29T14:35:16.383-04:00Have you read--A Hummingbird in My House by Arnett...Have you read--A Hummingbird in My House by Arnette Heidcamp?

It was beautiful with the ice but I'm looking forward to when it looks more like the photo above. Actually, I'm looking forward to April when the redbuds are in bloom.

Check out this web site: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/song_sparrow/id and scroll down to the section on field marks. I checked the Carolina wren and that has more solid colors. I think this is a sparrow. It spent a good part of the afternoon hunkered down at the feeder. I guess the feeder protected it from the wind. That bird feeder is nice but too many starlings got at the suet. It's got a suet feeder on both ends but I don't feel like feeding starlings.Margie Gackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05226661760566004941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687024592272365811.post-54555039545467752482014-01-26T10:37:51.871-05:002014-01-26T10:37:51.871-05:00Interesting feeder with the suet feeders on the si...Interesting feeder with the suet feeders on the sides.
