Grant Teaff Statue

For the first time ever, I was on the inside of the campus of McMurry University in Abilene, Texas.  I saw this beautiful sculpture of Grant Teaff, former head football coach from 1960-1965.  I only had my cell phone with me but I think the image came out okay anyway.

Museum of the North~~University of Alaska, Fairbanks

This beautiful building is the Museum of the North at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks.  It's a gorgeous building and I've taken many photos of it in various seasons.  The large bricks are intended to mimic bricks that an igloo is made of.

Law Building at University of Tennessee

This building is located in downtown Knoxville, TN.  I just love the architectural form of it, and being winter, the trees didn't really block the view.  

My heart is grateful for:

beautiful and creative architecture

Wilford Moore Stadium

This is a side view of the football stadium bleachers of McMurry University in Abilene, Texas.  It's home to the War Hawks football team and other teams.  The capacity of the bleachers is 3,200 and the field was opened in 1937. 

I'm grateful that:

I got a lot of work done around the house today and that the weather was so mild again

Recreation & Wellness Center @ ACU

I don't usually like modern architecture, but this is kind of interesting~~a little bit outside the box of the usual stuff you see on the Abilene Christian University campus in Abilene, Texas.  

My heart is happy that:

one of the ladies in church had her baby this week and it's a beautiful and healthy baby girl

The Johnson Building

Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Texas decorated their campus last week, so I made a trip over there just as it was turning dusk.  By the time I got to this building, it was dark enough that I had to boost the iso, so there's some pixelating going on.  

I love the simplicity of the one string of lights along the top of he building.  

My heart is grateful that:

I went to see "The Shift" movie in the theater tonight, and that there are more and more movies lately giving the untarnished Word of God.

Sculpture

This sculpture is in front of the Fine Arts building of McMurry University.  I've been wanting to photograph it for a long time, but it's situated on a main road that has a lot of traffic and parking is difficult.  But today I decided to figure out a way to get to it.  I normally don't like abstract art, but I find this kind of pretty.  Who knows how much it must have cost~~probably enough to make me gasp.

My heart is grateful for:

making hard decisions and figuring out how to solve surmountable problems

Stone Amphitheater steps

Stone steps and seats at the amphitheater at Abilene Christian University in Abilene, TX. 

My heart is grateful for:

getting out early in the cooler part of the day to get some images

Abilene Christian University Admin Building

I didn't really intend to photograph this building at the University, but my GPS took me past it, so I parked and got a few shots.  It's quite an impressive structure and I love the columns.  

There weren't too many students walking around this area, so it was easy to get this image without the distraction of the students.  Or...who knows, maybe some students in the pic would have enhanced it.

The building was erected in 1929 and it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.

I'm grateful today for:

the beautiful spring-like weather

Museum of the North

This museum is seen on the campus of Alaska University at Fairbanks, Alaska.  It's a beautiful structure and it gives me the feeling it was constructed with the large white blocks to mimic the Alaskan heritage of igloos.  I haven't been able to document that idea, but that's what it makes me think of when I look at it.

This building is a cultural center, a museum and a learning environment.

 The sun sets around 4 pm in the winter and this image was made close to that time.  The light was beautiful and the sky was such a pretty blue.
