Cavalry Baptist Church, another view

We went back to Elmwood Cemetery in part to recapture the name of this church, which we'd lost. So here it is, directly from one of their own signs.



The Calvary Baptist Church is in the entrance to Elmwood Cemetery.

Yesterday I received an award from Asta. I'm honored and happy that she thought of me. YAY! Thank you so much Asta!

Please visit Asta at her fantastic blog.

Like many awards, this has some rules:

1) Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award and his or her blog link.

2) Pass the award to 15 other blogs that you’ve discovered. Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

I will of course follow the instruction, however, I will take a one blog or person at a time starting out with Jacob and Lois of Ocala Daily. They have numerous blogs, all featuring well-done photography, and have been very helpful to me. I hope to name a new blog or person regularly for a while.

At the Belle Isle Aquarium and Pixel Perfect Award

I won the Pixel Perfect Award today, see below!

The Aquarium at Belle Isle in Detroit WAS the oldest still active aquarium in the country--but now it is closed. The building still stands and there are rumors it may reopen--I hope so. This is an archive photo. I have been otherwise engaged today, an ironic situation when I just won an award.

Yup, I won an award today from Jacob and Lois! See below for more details:

This prestigious award is given to a photo blogger who exhibits exceptional photographic skills in terms of artistic creativity, composition, sharpness and exposure. It is awarded by Jacob and Lois at Ocala Daily Photo. I am DEEPLY honored to receive this wonderful award. Jacob ad Lois have a number of lovely blogs of their area in Florida and one of Paree! I hope you will visit them and check them out! THANK YOU JACOB and LOIS!!

Homest Scrap Award

My thanks for Jacob and Lois Anne at Villages Daily Photo for this wonderful and meaningful award. This award is bestowed upon a fellow blogger whose blog content or design is, in the giver's opinion, brilliant. It is about bloggers who post from their heart, who oftentimes put their heart on display as they write from the depths of their soul.

I am honored. Thank you.

It is suggested the recipient offer 10 things that describe his or her honesty, but I am going to omit that, being a relatively private person.

It is also suggested that the recipient(s) pass the award on to other deserving bloggers.

That I am pleased to do, and here they are:

Marie at Montpellier Daily
Abraham Lincoln for his honest birds
Helene at HPY BIS
Mick Mather's honest creative art at his artblog
Andrea for her honest creative art at Big Gay Dragon
Nadine In Blue Ink
Berry Bird Lake Loop

Today's post is right below this.

I have just received the BFF award from JM of Oeiras and environs

the rules I have passed the award to the following five bloggers:

Marie of Montpellier Daily
Dick of Eye on Texel
Old Man Lincoln of Brookville Daily
Jilly of Menton Daily

Sorry about the second post in a single day but I didn't know about
this when I posted the other and it's a special occasion.
