Cooling Off at the PPM!

Whoever thought up the misting tent at the Pepper Place Market deserves a raise!   By 10 o'clock it was already hot as hades so the kids, and a few big folks, took advantage of the cool mist.  I gave it serious thought myself,  but remembered what a bad hair day I'd have,  so I just took photos instead.

How cute is this???  The Pepper Place is always full of cute kids and this sweet girl, although a bit shy,  allowed me to take some photos of her last Saturday.

Remembering... Greenwood Cemetery

Love at First Sight

Do Dah Day means kids and dogs.  This little girl fell in love with this decked out pooch and had to give a hug on the spot!

Kick Up Your Heels....School's Out!!!

For most school systems in the Birmingham area, this was this was the last week of school.  I'm sure students and teachers are kicking up their heels!!! ( As a former teacher I was always ready to kick mine up!)

AND.... I'm kicking my heels up as well because my dear dear blog buddy Paula has reignited her Pensacola Daily Photo Blog and I'm thrilled. Go by and say hello and welcome her back!

Proud!

As I was leaving the Birmingham Zoo last Friday, I trailed behind a peacock nonchalantly walking along ahead of me.  I'll be honest, this is the first time I've ever been able to closely observe/ photograph a peacock's feathers at close range. Gawgeous!

Do Dah Day 2012

I'll be honest.  When I started this post last night,  I had a few funny ideas for a title,  then thought that you, my dear readers might have even better ones.  Have at it. Let me hear them! 

Behind Her

Last month I made another tour of Oak Hill Cemetery with my Cincinnati  taphophile friends Mary Gilbert and Phil Nuxhall.  We were led by Oak Hill's director and head taphophile, Stuart Oates.  While they ooohed and aaahed over headstones etc. I wandered off, as I'm known to do, and found some new and interesting photos that I'd not previously shot. As I walked behind this oft photographed lady, I discovered the most marvelous folds of her hair and cape.

Today of course I must join Julie's   Taphophile Tuesday .

Heart to Heart Talk

I snapped this before the Do Dah Day Parade on Saturday.  The guy and his best friend were in deep conversation!

PLEASE HELP US !!!
