A Pugalicious Day

Harry riding shotgun as the lookout for treats.  Lulu enjoying the scenery.

at the Pepper Place Market yesterday!  It was a great opening day for the Spring Market. Lots of people and a whole lot of canines!  BTW, these two just happen to be my downstairs neighbors, so of course they got top billing!

Eat Your Carrots!

Who knew there were white and purple carrots!

I had some big fun at Jones Valley Teaching Farm ,in the heart of downtown Birmingham yesterday.  These carrots picked yesterday will be ready for you to buy at the Pepper Place Market TODAY!

New Kids on the Block

Kinetic Communications moved into an old caboose on cobblestoned Morris Avenue this past  year and have made quite a statement.  I would love to get inside their super cool offices and have a look around.

Familiar Feet

While strolling the Pop Up Bazaar at Railroad Park last Sunday, I ran into this little guy and his mom.  You might remember his feet,  made famous a few years ago when he was just a wee boy.  Of course I had to take a snap of his newer version of the ever popular Crocs!  ( Maybe this will replace the other photo on Granddaddy's screen saver!)

Men At Work

Down to the wire. The opening game in the brand spanking new Regions Field is tonight at 7:05 !

Go Fly A Kite!

At Railroad Park!

The Clock is Ticking....

at the brand new home of the Birmingham Barons, Regions Field downtown.  The opening game is set for Wednesday, April 10th against the Memphis Braves. Yesterday crews were working very hard to get it ready. They have been working tirelessly round the clock to meet the opening day!

Sunday Church Series - The Cross

When visiting Cullman, Alabama a few weeks ago we made a stop at St. Bernard College and walked down to the lovely cemetery and chapel there.  The simple, but beautiful  chapel, which was not open on my last visit, was a special find. Its sparse furnishings allow the stained glass windows to show through. This afternoon, the light cast some interesting shadows.

Zig-Zag

These stairs at Sloss Furnaces lead up to First Avenue North above.  I don't go very far up without a handrail, no matter how great the photo op!

Light Up The Lyric

is the name of the fundraising campaign to help rustle up some much needed funding to renovate the old Lyric Theatre downtown.  This is one of the lovely old light fixtures in the lobby.

Not Just Any Dinettes...

but FASHION Dinettes.  Question, how many of you remember these? Spotted on 2nd Avenue North.

EGGS!!!!

Aldridge Gardens

A mother duck, from the nearby lake laid about 30 eggs inside this tree trunk.  She'd taken a little break from egg sitting so we could get a closer look.  The security guard told me that the first one was blue and all the rest white, although they all appear bluish in my photos.

I spotted those cute little guys from yesterday's post and asked if they had seen the eggs. They were so excited to see them.

Oh Look!!!!

It was my pleasure to show these two adorable boys a very special place.  Come back tomorrow to have a closer look!

CDP Theme Day - Pedestrian Crossing

It's the first of the month and by now, you know the drill.  Today hundreds of City Daily Photobloggers around the world are posting their version of a common theme.  How do we get this monthly theme you ask? Well we all vote. I'll admit I DID NOT vote for this one and as of yesterday morning, I had nothing to offer until.... I attended the Dance Walk at Avondale Park in the afternoon.  Bingo!
