Well I'll Be Dammed!

Sorry, I couldn't resist.  This was taken from the stone bridge on Shades Creek Parkway in Mt. Brook recently.  Sometimes I take my camera along on my walk. I don't know much about beavers etc. so I'm just guessing they built it. Surely there's a dam expert out there!

Memory Lane?

This is one of the most beautiful walking trails in Birmingham.  It meanders through the beautiful Robert Jemison Park.  You saw the creek that runs beside it here.  If you aren't ready to stop you can cross Shades Creek Parkway and keep going!  I couldn't count the number of miles I have logged here over the years,  but it's always a beautiful,  peaceful place to stroll any time of the year.  I drove past this stretch of the trail on my way to the grocery store Saturday.  I tried to pass that gorgeous light and shadows, but my car just pulled into a parking spot,  and I had to jump out, take 5 or 6 quick shots and be on my way.  You hard core photographers out there know I 'm talking about.  It just seems to take longer to get anywhere...especially when there's that soft afternoon light.....

The Tune du Jour is "Chances Are" by Johnny Mathis.  This will bring some wistful smiles from those of you around my age. Memory Lane indeed!
