Recognize this lily?
It sure looks like the rare Cahaba Lily that grows in Alabama's Cahaba River. However, it was found growing in Old Town Selma. Could this be a type of spider lily since it's not aquatic, or is it a land-locked variation of the hymenocallis coronaria?

If you want blackberries, vine-ripe tomatoes and bell peppers, then the Green Acre Farm booth at the Dallas County Farmers' Market might be the place you want to be!
The market is open on Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday at the pavilion in Bloch Park.
These lily pads on the bank of a pond off Highway 41 display the softness of summer despite the steamy heat. Today's forecast calls for temperatures rising to the century mark.Photo by Christine Weerts
We're leaving Selma and Dallas County today for a 30-mile side trip to the Wilcox County hamlet of Gees Bend, home of the renowned Quilters of Gees Bend.
The former tenant community is located in a isolated bend of the Alabama River, and the ferry saves hours of travel by road to Camden, the county seat.

Thanks to guest photographer Christine Weerts for the photo!
Hundreds gathered at Valley Grande's city park Sunday evening to celebrate America's 234 years of independence. Red, white and blue bows and banners decorated the walking trail's entrance. There were parades, games, food and a lot of meeting and greeting before fireworks began at 9 p.m.
Valley Grande celebrated Independence Day with a big fireworks display, preceded by a children's parade and barbecue rib cookoff. The walking trail offered games and a playground, and food varied from hamburgers and hotdogs to barbecue, funnel cakes and blueberry cobbler with ice cream.
Today, Americans celebrate Independence Day, and Valley Grande once again hosts a celebration at the municipal park. Fireworks begin at 9 p.m.
This photo was taken at last year's event.
Fourth of July weekend draws many boaters to the Alabama River, and it looks like several boats have gathered for a middle-of-the-river party and swim. Guest photographer Christine Weerts sent this very seasonal photo. Thanks!
It's Skywatch time again, and as yesterday's off-and-on showers moved out, the clouds wore a silver lining.

This month's City Daily Photo Blogs theme is "Reflections," so I searched my archives and retrieved this photo of a power pole and power lines reflected in a window at The Harmony Club on Water Avenue.
