Have A Seat.... Well Maybe Not

You all know by now that I get invited to some interesting places around town. Sunday afternoon, I had the pleasure of photographing Jeff McGee's glorious gardens in Avondale.  I thought I was prepared for the photo ops but I wasn't. Jeff has one of the most beautiful gardens I've visited here in Birmingham.  I'm invited back.... every single month. I can't wait!

Today just a glimpse. I'll sprinkle Jeff's gardens in for a long time. 

The Secret Garden

I would have liked to go in for a look around.... but no.

A Peaceful Place

The courtyard at the Cathedral Church of the Advent is a beautiful and serene spot in the heart of downtown Birmingham.  The church sanctuary is exquisite, but the gardens and courtyards are equally as lovely and draw me back time and again to make photographs.  

Sorry about the technical difficulties today. I was out of town, and apparently had a small glitch.

Green Acres Meets City Livin'

Recently I visited a place that I have passed many times, but never stopped to explore- the Jones Valley Urban Farm.  One of its three locations is smack dab in the middle of downtown Birmingham.  I saw everything from corn , (at least 7 feet tall), melons, zinnias, and even a colorful rooster!   More photos will be posted in the weeks to come.  I chose this photo to give you a feel for the location.  As you can see , it is in close proximity to Park Place, a mixed income development, and the interstate! Please visit their website to see all the wonderful things this urban farm offers to the children and adults of Birmingham.
