Sunday Church Series - RAIN!

While watching a lovely wedding photo shoot at my church yesterday, I looked up and spotted a skylight I don't think I'd ever noticed. Rain appreciated.

Well Hail!!!

and a whole lot of rain ( and tornado sirens).  Welcome to Tornado Season in Alabama!

Reflections in a Puddle

As you know by now, we are in the throes of a brutal heat wave. I can't remember when my yard has looked so ......crispy! This puddle in a downtown alley is a nice memory of a rainstorm a few weeks ago.

I'll be short on comments for a few days. I'm off to spend time with dear friends. I'll check in from time to time!

Mon Nouveau Parapluie

"Into each life some rain must fall." I say just pop open your chic Parisian parapluie and enjoy the view overhead.

Ella Fitzgerald and the Ink Spots have a tune for you today. You'll be very sorry if you don't give it a listen!

* I'm not at all certain my français is correct today.....quelle surprise! Correction s'il vous plait.

Museum Reflections

I was at the Birmingham Museum of Art yesterday for my weekly volunteer duties assisting with the grand new exhibit, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. I looked out over the Sculpture Garden and saw water standing everywhere and .....lo and behold! When I left for the day, I grabbed my camera and headed outside to find those puddles. Thankfully the rain had stopped and I got some interesting reflections.

DON'T FORGET THE YALE EXHIBIT SHOWING NOW AT THE BMA!

Guess What It's Still Doing???

Yep. But this should brighten your day!

Buddy Holly's got a tune for you today right here!

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Yep, it's still raining. I've done the mushroom/toadstool thing. May I add that Serge Virot, my French mushroom expert, reports that he couldn't make a ruling on the species I posted here. That said, I guess we won't be picking any for a nice mushroom quiche!

Today, in the rain, I visited my friend Billy Angell's Oak Street Garden Shop and Market. I had to tuck my camera inside my rainjacket at times, but you know raindrops are a photographer's dream. Have a look. BTW, the header is courtesy of Billy's place as well!
