M is for Movies

M is for MOVIE popcorn, MOVIE candy and MOVIE posters such

 as this display in the lobby of the Selma Walton Theatre.

The Back Side of Spring

Can it be that we are on the back side of spring already?

With freezing temperatures just a couple of weeks ago and a high near 90

 expected today, it sure seems that way! Like the back side of this bumblebee,

 spring has turned on us, and we are heading straight into summer.

The Lady Banks Roses

These Lady Banks roses began blooming in March,

 but they are usually at peak in early April.

However, due to some late frosts, some may not reach

 full bloom for a few more days. These roses are located 

in the municipal complex next to City Hall.

Looking for a Home

This black-and-white beauty is looking for a home!

She's been living at the Central Alabama Animal Shelter

 in Selma for a long time, and while she enjoys a big playroom,

 a loving family to call her own is on her bucket list!

The Resurrection Cross

The sky was mostly cloudy the day after Easter, but flowers on the cross

 in front of Church Street United Methodist Church were still vibrant with color.

 I like the way the newly leafed tree posed in the background too!

Friday Fences, The Cemetery Gate

Loved ones used to be buried in places like this...upon a tree-shaded hill

 behind an ornate gate and with monuments inscribed with scripture.

Prairie Buttercups

Prairie buttercups covered this field along U.S. Highway 80 West

on Easter Sunday. In the distance, you can see the faint lavender color

 of redbud trees and the early spring hues of other trees along the skyline. 

What a beautiful morning!

The Lady at Rest

We're blogging the letter "L" today over at ABC Wednesday, and I was LUCKY

 to be LED to this LADY at rest by another photography enthusiast last week. 

While most of my monument photos are taken in Old Live Oak Cemetery

 in Selma, we LOOKED around and found this one in a rural graveyard.

 It memorializes a young wife who died at the age of 26 in 1860.

 How LOVED she must have been!

Romancing the Town

Azalea blossoms, nestled among magnolia and Spanish Moss, 

have no trouble romancing the town in early April.

April Theme Day, Pedestrians' Crossing

It's April Theme Day over at the City Daily Photo Blogs, and we're sharing photos

 of pedestrian crossings. The sidewalks on the Edmund Pettus Bridge fit the theme 

perfectly, and last October, I was photographing Riverfront Market Day 

when these Boy Scouts from Prattville made the trek across the bridge.
