This morning I went over my collection of pictures and picked out a bunch that I think you have not seen before. So hope you enjoy this bunch even though it does not have a picture of a cat!

This is one of the murals seen in Augusta that I thought was unique in remembering an event:


I saw this one morning going to Tobacco Road and had to stop and take the picture:

I said there will be no pictures of cats but I did not say no pictures of the canal. Here you can see the water level is above the houses:

Here is the docking area for the tourist to take the canal boat tour:

Needless to say, these kids had it made on their field trip in the boat:

Here is a picture of Augusta as seen from South Carolina:

Here is looking up at the Lamar Building Penthouse from the base of the Confederate Monument:

Here is a view taken from the exterior elevator as I was descending from the Lamar Penthouse:

Here is a view of Augusta from one of its three road bridges:

Yeah, even here kids will be kids. I thought this would go as an artistic picture:

Here is the first church established in Augusta, St. Paul's Episcopal Church downtown next to the river:


Here is a picture I found on the internet showing what the little town of Bethlehem looks like today:
