A red-clay sky fades behind the tree line, and it looks as if the autumn hay crop is almost in. Find more brilliant skies at www.skyley.blogspot.com.
Thanks to Christine Weerts for sending this photo.
For Michael Jackson fans, the Neverland ferris wheel is the most thrilling ride at the fair!
Archway Amusements purchased the ride from the Neverland Ranch in September 2008, and it has been touring the towns ever since.
It's said that Chair 13 was the late pop icon's favorite; hence, it's also the favorite of many riders of the Midway.
While critters crawl and dogs dig above the ground, I wonder what goes on under ground!
You can find out at the Central Alabama Fair simply by crawling through this soil tunnel. The tunnel is part of an exhibit sponsored by the Dallas County Soil and Water Conservation District.
Round and round they go!
The Central Alabama Fair Midway rides opened Monday night and will twirl at Lion's Fair Park on Dallas Avenue through Saturday.
Although I wasn't there, my photo files from at least 15 years ago produced today's post. The two little blonds in the back are mine.
The Central Alabama Fair opens its gates tonight in Selma, and among its most popular attractions is the petting zoo.
Here's hoping that the rain goes away, but if you are going, the petting zoo and is covered and dry!
Tabernacle Baptist Church on Broad Street has a lovely circle of lights hanging from its sanctuary rotunda.

The cosmos blooms still, and more rain expected today will surely unfold the buds below.
It's Skywatch Friday, and after a cool front moved through this morning, puffy white clouds moved in and parted to let the blue sky show through.

Selma City Hall is sporting the look of fall today. Cornshucks and ribbons adorn the posts to let us know that autumn really is here, and finally the cool temperatures are letting us breathe easy again!
