Butterfly Garden
Back in Columbus, Mississippi, along the River Walk. We came across a tiny garden, swarming with hundreds of beautiful butterflies. Unexpected and wonderful.

West Point
West Point, Mississippi, feels like Disney World or Clark’s Trading Post, or some kind of nostalgic amusement park – except that it’s very real life and very abandoned, quiet. A shadow of what once was. I wonder what it was like years ago, when Main Street was alive.

Tombigbee River
We took two pontoon boats on on the river this weekend. It was a real life country song; boats, beer, grilling, river banks, floating, friends. This really feels like The South; this is experiencing the real Mississippi.

Riverwalk
Taking business calls along four miles of the Columbus Riverwalk today. Any excuse to be outside for the sunset.

Plymouth Bluff
Weekend hiking in Mississippi. We had been meaning to explore Plymouth Bluff for some time, and now we finally have. Everything was beautiful, of course. But what really shocked me was the history. Just over one hundred years ago, a small town thrived in this river bend; today, it’s gone. There is no trace.

Mississippi Back Roads
It’s easy to conceptualize The South, to read books, to watch TV, to listen to country radio. But then to BE there under the sky and surrounded by the fields. To realize what that life is really like. That’s special.
