Ruby Tuesday and Photographic Reflections



These images are part of a beach scene on a wall mural at Granddaughter Lily's doctor's office. I loved the face on this little red crab. He sure looks like he's smiling!

Photographic Reflections
This window and balcony are part of a pre-Civil War plantation house here in Parkersburg. It was built in 1836 and always occupied by the same family. Not only is the mansion intact, the contents of the home are all there too. Everything has been saved, from letters, shopping lists, and business accounts to furniture, wallpaper, antique light bulbs, clothing, and shoes. More than 200 years of family papers were collected and have been saved.
Curtains made in the mid-1800s by the ladies of the house still hang in some of the windows. Henderson Hall as the house is called is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
I love how the old glass in the windows make the reflections look like they are underwater.
