Trinity United Methodist Church in Homewood, is the church where I grew up.

Sunday Church Series - The Dogwoods Are In Bloom

Friday, I captured Highland United Methodist's lovely dogowoods against these stained glass windows.

Hope for Spring

Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, for Christians around the world. As I was leaving the Service of Communion at my church, I spotted a few Lenten Roses that had started blooming, despite the cold and snow we've had in recent weeks. What a wonderful reminder that spring is on its way. (I apologize to the pansies I stepped all over trying to get a few shots!)

I am pleased to announce that one of Birmingham's newest magazines, B-Metro, will be regularly featuring some of my Birmingham photos on their website. I featured them here, and they featured me here!

With Heads Bowed

Today, Ash Wednesday,  marks the beginning of the season of Lent for Christians around the world.  I thought you might enjoy seeing the beautiful Lenten Roses ( Helleborus)  that are blooming all over Birmingham.  They are tricky to photograph because the grow with their heads bowed.  I had to use a few tricks of my own ( think acrobatics) to capture these.
