Bridge over High Waters

Nearing flood stage after seven inches of rain since Sunday,

 the Alabama River in Selma made the railroad bridge appear

 a bit short by Wednesday. Even after four days 

of nearly constant rain, the skies still threatened. 

Click HERE to see how high the bridge stands when the river level is normal.

Selma, Ala., Daily Photo's 3rd Anniversary

Here's a big bouquet of flowers to you, my readers, in Selma's finest house, Sturdivant Hall Museum. Today is the Selma, Ala., Daily Photo Blog's third anniversary, and I really can't believe I've posted a picture a day for that long!

Heading into the fourth year, I hope to continue meeting the challenge of finding something interesting, something positive and something representative of this famous little town in the heart of Alabama.

Thank you for your visits, your comments and suggestions, and come see Selma for yourself!

Bearing a Blossom (2nd Anniversary!)

Today marks the second anniversary of the Selma, Ala., Daily Photo, and I just had to share this lovely wreath bearer in Old Live Oak Cemetery.

The red camellia caught my eye and could not have been placed in her hand for long since it hadn't wilted at all. Whoever handed her the camellia, along with strands of Spanish Moss, made my day as well as an enchanting subject for this blog.

The tombstone beneath the statue's feet memorializes a young wife who died at age 27 in 1886.

Thank you to the City Daily Photo Blog owners and to all who have visited and commented on the photographs posted here. Special thanks go to others who have shared their own pictures for posts, especially closeups of wildlife and photos of events that I could not attend.

Come back and visit as we begin the third year. I appreciate you all! (y'all!)

God bless you!

Happy Easter and First Anniversary!

HAPPY EASTER!

Today, Christians celebrate the resurrection of their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

"And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. His countenance was liike lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men. But the angel answered and said to the women. 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.'"
Matthew 28: 2-6

Today, The Selma, Ala., Daily Photo celebrates its one-year anniversary!
