First Full Moon

It's Skywatch Friday, and July graced us with two full moons.

This is the first one taken on July 1. The second full moon,

called a blue moon, occurred early this morning but wasn't visible

at my house at 5 a.m.

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.
