Urban raptor: This beauty sat in a cherry tree in my yard for about 15 minutes yesterday. It appears to be a young Cooper’s Hawk. Always good to see them in Memphis; they like to sit atop the light poles along Sam Cooper Boulevard. Could they be smart enough to read street signs?

Many wore parkas and all were bundled against the cold as a big crowd assembled at the National Civil Rights Museum in #Memphis on Monday to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. #MLKDay #MLKDay2020

Finally we got some #Memphis sun today, even if it was a bit cold. #memphiswx #sunnyday

A bottle tree is believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck. Yes, please, especially now. This #throwbackthursday shot was made on a July morning in 2017 in Port Gibson, #Mississippi. The tree is a welded sculpture by Stephanie Dwyer, @BottleTreeAlley.

The indoor movie theaters are still closed, but at least we’ve got those Memphis sunsets. That empty Malco Paradiso parking lot sure looks strange on a Saturday night, though.

Farming in the floodplain, across the Mississippi River from Memphis.

FedEx vs. Amazon Prime ... which delivery of face masks, hand sanitizer and toilet paper will get there first?

Big pink: A huge summer cloud lit up in the east by the setting sun in the west. This was shot near Shelby Farms Park in East Memphis.

Yep, it’s #sunflower season.

Heading upriver on a Friday night, 8/14/20. #Memphis #MississippiRiver
