Day Two of Project Black brings you to my home–at least right up to our front door. I never noticed before how many black accents we have around; funny what you don’t see until you actually look for it.
Isn’t this spot inviting? If pollen and spiders didn’t think they were invited guests, we might just use it a whole lot more. Shame…I can just imagine sipping lemonade and waving to passersby; the only problem? We live at the end of a cul-de-sac up a steep, long driveway. In other words, there ARE no passersby!
For the birds…or not
Located on the Georgia side of Lookout Mountain, Chattanooga still claims Rock City as a jewel of her own. You might’ve seen this painted on a barn’s rooftop at some point in your life–according to their website, "Garnet Carter began his famous barn roof advertising campaign to lure vacationers from the highways.
By the 1950’s Clark Byers had painted "See Rock City" on 900 barn roofs from Michigan to Texas." That’s a lot of roofs! I wonder if the owners were compensated for for their "ad space".

What a fabulous setting and porch with those great black sit a spells on it! Love it…
Isn’t that why people get houses on a cul-de-sac? To avoid passerby! I remember a long time ago seeing pictures of your porch here. I think it’d be well worth a can of Raid and a dust mop to spend some time out there. Nice porch. And nice black. 🙂
These are all super shots! The swing and the chairs look so inviting.
This is one of my favorite Project Black posts today.
What a bea-u-ti-ful setting. Absolutely gorgeous. Hmmm, I have a lot of black accents in my house too.
I might try your Friday challenge next week!
There’s a line in a song I like about “see Rock City” – I never knew what it was until now!
You have a lovely, inviting looking porch. I’d definitely say get rid of the spiders and enjoy it.
You are such a fabulous photographer — I love the way you position the subjects in your photos. Teach me O’ Great One! 😀
I wish that my “See Rock City” bird house still looked as good as yours~! Mine has warped from rain, lost it “bird roost” pegs, and had various other injustices done to it. Most involved Eli and either a foot, soccer or basketball! It’s still in my back yard, though, and is a standing reminder of a great friend of mine who lives in TN. Maybe it’s warped-ness is a bit symbolic (ha!)
You introduction is detail, thank you a lot details, but why do not you present some reference pics?
