Rothschild Pound House Bed and Breakfast

*****

Entrance to the side yard of the Rothschild Pound House Bed and Breakfast. The B&B is not just one house  with rooms for rent, it is made up of multiple cottages and a restaurant. Mel Gibson and the other actors of the movie, "We Were Soldiers Once", stayed in these cottages during the filming. As the story goes, they were all originally staying at the Historic Columbus Hilton, but Madeline Stowe, while riding a bike around the neighborhood saw the cottages and moved into one of them. The rest of the actors followed suit.

A Non-Flower Photo

Okay, so there are not any flowers in this shot, but we do have foliage and a picture of a bird : ) 

As I have been neglecting this blog for that month or so I figured I better get moving. 

We will be heading to this location in April for my son's wedding.

Taken: May 2005

On the Big Island of Hawaii at the nut farm. 

I found a website with Hawaiian flora, but they did not have a shot of this.

I do like the texture of the orbs and the colors.

Any ideas?

This is my submission for Macro Flowers Saturday

Post post comment: Thanks to Kebeni. Her comment led me to Lychee on Google and I found my answer. Ripe fruit would be a rosy-peachy red. Want to read more?

Apparently sweet and tasty when ripe, I left these on the vine.

A shot from the garden/park area of the campus where I work.

Spanish moss drips from trees all over the south and I love the look of it. Others don't.
