Snow Joke?
You need to know this. Here in Birmingham, we get maybe one snowfall a year. It usually lasts a day or two at the most. Last January 29, the weather gurus predicted a light dusting and what we got in spades was what is now dubbed, Snowmageddon! It shut the city down and thousands were stranded far from home in what was a huge event in our city. Oh I hear you all up there in the north snickering. Well we are a hilly city built between two mountains, no snow removal because we live in the south, and nobody knows what snow tires are. So we were in a predicament that we and the weather forecasters, have not forgotten. For the past week, we've had scare, after scare of ice? snow? icy snow? We've dodged the bullet but maybe, just maybe, tomorrow afternoon or night, we might seem some inches. Don't you worry about us. We have all been to the Piggly Wiggly and stocked up on our snow staples of choice. Some grab bread and milk. Others grab wine, wine and potato chips.
Today's shot is from a bank of snow photos I've had stashed for years. How many can I reasonably share in a week or so? I live for these days when I can drag out some more favorites. Stay tuned. You might get more new snow or you might get some potato chip/wine photos for a few days.

Mercedes Marathon Bell Center Runners 2015- The Teaser
Yes, today is the teaser. I photographed the Bell Center Runner Event as part of the Mercedes Marathon weekend yesterday for the third year. If I had to choose a Birmingham event that I love the most...this is it in spades. Today, Chambers as she shoots off the starting line. She and her family are very special to me. For the next few days you will have more precious kiddos to ooh and ahhh over.

SATURDAY...
10:00 a.m.... be there or be square. I can't post enough precious photos to drum up business for the Bell Center's Runners. This, in my humble opinion, is the BEST part of the Mercedes Marathon Weekend in Birmingham. Great cause, great kids, great parents...... my heart.

The Face of the Bell Center
This Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m., the Bell Runners will take to the streets as part of the annual Mercedes Marathon Weekend. These precious children are running to raise money for the Bell Center For Early Intervention. It is a loving place that touches so many families in our city, and I would put up a photo every single day on this blog if I could. There will also be terrific runners and relay teams running for these fabulous kids all weekend long. It is a great weekend for Birmingham and the Bell Center.

I Love Bell Runners!
Forgive me if I overdo the cute photos this week but I LOVE the BELL RUNNERS. That's the run shortly before the Kids' Mercedes Marathon Run this coming Saturday. It benefits the FABULOUS Bell Center for Early Intervention and is the best event I have the privilege to photograph all year long.

Stones and Leaves
Today I'm sharing a photo taken for my photography class. I'm leading a book study on Chris Orwig's VISUAL POETRY at Independent Presbyterian Church. It's my second or third reading and I never tire of Chris' photos and marvelous text. This chapter is on photographing ordinary objects. I found these smooth stones at the columbarium at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Mountain Brook.
