Virginia said...: I know but funnily enough, around here there are some trees that are still turning yellow. I love the gingko and hope they hang around for another week or so!; November 15, 2011 at 8:30 PM
Janet said...: Virginia, I love the gingko tree too. So glad it was imported to the USA! Our tree typically peaks one day, then loses most of its leaves the next. :(; November 15, 2011 at 8:36 PM

WELCOME!

Selma is among the oldest cities in Alabama and has the largest contiguous historic district. It is known for its Civil War and Civil Rights history. The Battle of Selma was one of the last fought in the War Between the States, and the town was a center for the Voting Rights Movement in the 1960s. Today, with a population of about 20,000, Selma is the largest town in the western Black Belt region. The Black Belt, named for the color of its soil, stretches across Central Alabama from Mississippi to Georgia.
