Snellville 1952 – Painting

Kathy and I went shopping at Kroger today. There is large painting of Snellville in 1952 at the main intersection of 124 and 78. It is about 20 feet wide. I took three shots with my BlackBerry and stitched them together in Photoshop, correcting the perspective distortion.

The painting is by Dianna Love Snell (of the Snellville Snell’s.) Snellville used to be called New London.

There was no red-light camera at that time.

White Alligator

Kathy, Claire, Kelly and I took the dogs on a walk up to the neighborhood lake last night. We wanted poor Clyde, who has been so hot, to have a chance to go for a swim. Clyde has no problem walking right into a body of water and swimming. There were no geese out on Holly Lake last night. He often will swim toward them.

Stout would love to join Clyde, but he hates water. He’s watching in the snapshot below. As soon as Clyde would climb out, Stout would jump all over him.

I threw a stick out on the water, and like a true retriever, Clyde brought it back. He kind of looks like a white alligator!
