Wheels!

Barber Motorsports Museum is a MUST SEE when visiting Birmingham. This world renowned facility showcases over 1200 vintage motorcycles and race cars. I am hoping to get there again for more photos. Stay tuned!

Sloss Sunset

 

Leaving grandson Davis' birthday party at Sloss Furnaces last Sunday, I stopped for a few industrial sunset shots.

Au revoir...

Our hydrangeas as leaving us.  Parting is such sweet sorrow.

In The Playhouse

This sweet girl was enjoying a few quiet moments in the playhouse as the rest of the playground was full of squealing friends.

Have a Seat

Well maybe not.  Actually, these are the sides of old theatre seats. I know, they look like a bunch of old crutches.  Stored in the office building of the Lyric, they could have been from the Lyric or the Alabama. Anyway, they seem at attention, ready and willing to be called back on duty.

Playing With Sparks

I had the pleasure of visiting Chris Fennell's studio at Wade Sand and Gravel a few days ago.  Chris' sculpture defies the imagination.  Try and picture a Bicycle Tornado, car doors that will become a soaring hawk or a zillion baseball bats all welded together. His imagination is endless. I was thrilled  to watch the end of a huge outside art installation that will soon reside in Scottsdale.  He was kind enough to not only show me around but let me photograph the process. Another new friend. Thank you Chris!

Industrial Color

Thank you , thank you Chris Fennell for showing me around Wade Sand and Gravel today. I have zillions of photos to share of this place and Chris' wonderful sculptures and studio there in the very near future. Today, some industrial color.

Put Your Hands Over Your Head...

Everyone loves Miss Jill's music class at Independent Presbyterian Church's Day School, including me!

Raindrops on Roses

A little field trip last Friday led us to a beautiful home and rose garden on Lake Logan Martin.  As we turned off the interstate it started to rain.  What seemed like a potential disaster for a photo shoot turned into magic!  The shower stopped upon our arrival and each and every blossom sparkled. Kay Taylor, my rose expert, tells me this is Just Joey!

This.....

will light up the Lyric again,  one day very soon. Because of the generous donors, the historic Lyric Theatre will again shine and provide a wonderful venue for our city!

Dog Meets Hat

At the Pepper Place Market, this happens all the time!

Homecoming Memories

 

 I took this several years ago at the Homewood High School Homecoming Parade.  I still love the memories in this reflection. Community, Schools, Music, Team Spirit, Good Times.

It's a Dog's Life

Shades Creek runs along the Jemison Trail on Mountain Brook Parkway and proved to be the very best place to chase a stick!

No. 1 Kodak Jr.

They don't make 'em like they use to!

What's on Second?
