Discovery Place - Charlotte

Charlotte, NC  2023

Discovery Place is a science museum located in uptown Charlotte.  It features many hands-on exhibits designed to appeal to children and get them excited about math and science.  This display shows some of the many projects the kids have created at the museum.  Being good grandparents, we just had to take our granddaughter Clara to the museum last week.

Coffee Courts

Waxhaw, NC  2023

This pretty non-descript building is an athletic facility/events space located off the beaten path outside of Waxhaw.  You wouldn't know that just by looking at the outside..

Rainbow





Waxhaw, NC  2023

This was the scene from my backyard patio last evening, shortly after the end of a summer thunderstorm.  I was fortunate to be able to see both ends of the rainbow.  Photographers with much more skill than I could do these rainbows more justice

Crossing Guard

Waxhaw, NC  2023

Pedestrians would take these flags and wave them when they needed to cross a busy street at a crosswalk.  They have been replaced with electronic warning lights at the crosswalks, activated by a push of a button that stops traffic allowing the pedestrians to cross.

It has been awhile since I've posted anything.  No excuses.  I just don't know where the month of June went.
