Blueberry Pickin'
I took this photo a few weeks ago at Morgan Creek Vineyards in Harpersville. By now, the blueberries are begging for you to come and pick your own!

FLOWER CHILD
Meet Adam, one of our Alabama farmers from Snow's Bend Farms. I've been shopping with them and photographing their produce and flowers for years at the Pepper Place Market. I hope to get to the farm in Coker, Alabama sometime this summer!

Flying Boats
Last night I was at the Alabama School of Fine Arts ( ASFA) for a fabulous production of Les Misérables by the Red Mountain Theater. Couldn't pass up this neat sculpture on the way!

Chambers
Meet Chambers. Isn't she about the cutest thing you've ever seen? I had the pleasure of photographing her last week, along with her big brother Gram and sister Eliza. I don't know when I've had so much fun. Today Chambers is at Children's Hospital having heart repair surgery. I know you will join me in sending prayers, sweet thoughts and much love her way!
UPDATE: Chambers cames through surgery beautifully and is already off her breathing tube and Mom says she's already sporting her pink bow again! :)

Cool Dude
I will admit that I'm often drawn to hair or hairdos as we called them growing up. Whether it's a toddler with a halo of golden curls or this guy's great locks yesterday at the Pepper Place. As I sat listening to the music, I turned and spotted him. I took about 10 photos before I got up and told him that I loved his hair and been photographing him for a while. Found out he was from Continental Bakery, one of my favorite haunts. He and I will reconnect one day soon and I'll share my photos.
This Thursday, July 10, I will be presenting TRAVEL TO PARIS at the Hoover Library at 2:00 PM here in Birmingham. I hope you will join me!

Bethanne
Welcome to my friend Bethanne Hill's studio. She's lived just blocks from me for years, and I've heard wonderful things about her for so long, but she and I just connected through Facebook in the last few months. She is one fabulous artist but she's more than that. Bethanne is a tireless advocate for Avondale Elementary, Avondale Park and our city. She's funny, compassionate, thoughtful and just a sweet, gentle soul. Lately, she's been kind enough to include me on some exciting neighborhood field trips and we've had some big fun!
Yesterday I visited her little studio behind her home in Forest Park. I sat on a stool while she put the finishing touches on this family pew, commissioned by friends. We talked about how she got started, what inspires her ( aborigine art) and "the process". I'm a frustrated painter, so I always want to know the dirt on that. She painted, and we talked and occasionally I had to stop to take a few shots of her hilarious dogs. You will have to come back another day to see them!

Watching The Garden Grow
Meet Kahlil, he lives in the apartments just across the street from Jones Valley Teaching Farm, located in downtown Birmingham. Kahlil stops by often to see what's up and what's growing. Lucky kid wouldn't you say?
