BADP On the Road - Toomer's

Who says you can't go home again. I did yesterday. I took a little road trip to Auburn to spend some great time with dear friends. They were kind enough to drop me off at Samford Hall for a little photo time. Many very special memories came flooding back. As I crossed the street after getting a few at Toomer's Drugs, this dad and his sweet boy were headed over to the that very special corner. Good times in Auburn!

Oh and I might have a few more special memories to share here. I'm sure my U of A readers will understand!

This photograph would be even more striking being in black and white; July 25, 2012 at 2:35 AM

Actually this would be ORANGE and blue that the boy was wearing. We don't talk about red when in Auburn! :)

Meghan,
Lucky girl, I know you will miss her. Things have really changed down there but this part of the campus was just as I remembered it, except for the dying trees there on the corner.; July 25, 2012 at 9:28 AM
Sandi @the WhistleStop Cafe said...: Red?? I think not!

How many generations of boys have been carried across that campus on their dad's shoulders?

You always capture the moment.; July 25, 2012 at 12:18 PM

I haven't been there since the trees were poisoned. Very different now, and very sad.

Great photo! Emotional and evocative
