Jesus Saves Don Byram Art

In honor of Easter....this a photo of one of our local landmarks between Athens and Commerce. It is the neon "Jesus Saves" sign of the Baptist Tabernacle on 441. BTW, I also noticed a lot of stores mentioned they are closed tomorrow. We are closed also. Of course, we are always closed on Sunday, but I thought, since everyone else is m...entioning it, I should also. Just in case you might be in need of some emergency framing....you might have to go to Hobby Lobby. Oh wait, they are always closed on Sundays also....hmm...hopefully you will be OK til Monday. Good luck with that :) Happy Easter.See More

Tractor Art at Pictures 4 Everyone

Love old farm tractors. They tell the story of America from a farmer's point of view. I traveled the back roads for a year or so and got to know some of the stories. I especially like tractor grills. The front end of a tractor will tell you more about the farmer than his wife! Here are some of the tractor pictures I took. http://pics4everyone.com/donbytrart.html
