Feet of Clay

 Another bit of architectural detail found while poking around the collection at The Garage.

Hear Me Roar!

Across the street fro, The Garages, Fritz Woehle stored a treasure trove of old statuary, doors and so much more from his travels. I have been fortunate to get inside the gates and photograph. Fritz even took me there once. A photographer's paradise. 

Sunday Church Series - Reflections

After weeks of rain, last Sunday was bright and sunny. As I sat in church, I looked up and was startled at the gorgeous play of color and light reflected on the balcony wall from the stained glass window. I made a mental note of the time and went back last Wednesday to try and capture it.

All Is Calm, All is Bright

Christmas blessings to all of my readers around the world who celebrate Christmas.

Birmingham? Paris?

ETC. in Mountain Brook Village always has the most fabulous Christmas window. Could easily rival any windows I've seen in Paris.

Foggy Day on Altamont

On my way home from work this afternoon, the fog and the trees on Altamont Road were too good to pass up. Luckily, I had my phone!

Magic City Nutcracker III

These adorable ballerinas found a good way to stay entertained and quiet backstage, until their time to dance.

Magic City Nutcracker II

The rosin box is just off stage. The ballerinas dancing en pointe use it often.

Magic Citiy Nutcracker 2018 - Part I

This past weekend, I enjoyed seeing our ballerina, Chappell, perform in the Magic City Nutcracker at the Virginia Samford Theatre. On Sunday, I was invited to photograph back stage. What a wonderful experience. For the next few days I will share some of my favorite images.

Bittersweet

We southerners covet bittersweet. After finding a nice stand of it once on a road trip to Tennessee, and trying to drag the sticky vines out of the undergrowth, haul it home, and only to find most of the berries in the bottom of my trunk, hence the name. Whatever your *garden shop wants to charge you for this lovely vine...pay it.

Oak Street Garden Shop for the win!

Welcome Fall!

I am declaring this a Sweetgum, but will welcome an expert opinions!

Autumn Vines

These autumn vines remind me so much of Paris. Actually this is right here in Birmingham at my daughter's home.
