Grandview Pointe and Issac

 When we moved back to Mobile from Baton Rouge in June of 2010, we lived at Grandview Pointe Apartments on Mobile Bay.  I had the most beautiful view of Mobile Bay.  Each morning was a blessing to watch the sun rise over the bay.  We made some great friends during our time there.  We stayed during Tropical Storm Lee last year and I loved watching the many moods of Mobile Bay.  I can't help but wonder how they are doing during Issac.  

One of my good friends Kristen Perez shared some photos she has taken.  I put them with some photos I had taken in the past when we lived there to show the water rise on Mobile Bay

 This is looking toward the Dog River Bridge from the front of the apartments

 This is looking from the front parking lot as you come in the complex.

Tried to show how high the water is by showing the tree.

Here is a photo we took from the River Shack last year.  You can see the pier is completely submerged because of Issac

Speaking of the River Shack, Chelesa Richards took this one earlier this morning.  

I just checked the rain gauge, (not that it is accurate because of the blowing rain) and we have had at least 5 inches and 

the rain is still coming down.  

Here's wishing all my friends and co-workers in Louisiana a safe ride with Issac.

Some of My Favorite Photos

Living at the apartment on the Bay had its ups and downs.  I don't miss the noise from upstairs neighbors, nor the lack of privacy.  But is sure do miss my view of the bay.  When I start missing it too bad, I just look at some of my favorite photos.

These always put a smile on my face.  What puts a smile on your face?

Have a great Tuesday

FLOUNDERS

When I decided to start this blog, I did not have a CLUE what I was doing and I still don't  LOL  I was talking with a good friend of mine today who told me that she was thinking about starting a blog.  I have had one for a while, but I need to get serious about posting more.  Since one of my favorite things to do is paint, I thought I would upload some to share.  

I painted this blue flounder several weeks ago.  I attended a Bill Harrison workshop Fast and Loose at The Garage at Point Clear.  I became inspired again.  I love living in Mobile and being so close to the bay, that's where a lot of my inspiration comes from.  

When I posted this on Facebook several weeks, a Facebook friend said she liked it.  

She ask if I could paint a matching flounder in yellow and orange to go with the blue for her bathroom. 

I hope you enjoy.  

I am busy thinking of what to paint next.  Any suggestions.

Have a good day!!!
