Our World, Back to Boating

Boating is back now that the weather has warmed and the river is not too high

 and not too swift. This boater took advantage of good conditions 

one evening last week as the sun was lowering in the western sky.

Skywatch Friday, Alabama River Sunset

Guest photographer Jed Kirk captured this beautiful sunset above the Alabama River

 on one of his recent boating excursions. With summer almost upon us,

 the river traffic will increase significantly!

Don't Step Over Fence

Can you read the sign on the tree?

You can walk on the grass, swing in the swing or sit on the bench,

 but DON'T step over that fence!

The property owners don't want you to fall into the river!

Thank you to the boating crew, whoever they may be,

 for the great background for Friday Fences!

Cruisin' Upriver in December

December isn't a usual month to see boats on the river, but the weather has been so balmy recently. Right now, our air conditioning is on...first time I ever remember needing it so close to Christmas. More near record temperatures are expected the next few days, with the thermometer close to 80 degrees F.
