Camera Critters, Learning to Fish


From Alabama's Gulf of Mexico, I bring you a heron learning to fish!

Well, due to the angle, he looks like he's fishing with a pole that is really just planted in the sand. In reality, this bird was hoping to catch the fisherman's fish.

For more fun critters of the camera, visit Camera Critters Meme.

Oil-Free!


Okay, so this isn't Selma! But The Selma, Ala., Daily Photo took time to drive a few hours to the Gulf of Mexico and check out the oil-free status for you.

All is clear, and the seagulls are happy to walk Alabama's beaches.

Meanwhile, a couple of Mississippi farmers may have the solution to cleaning up the oil spill if BP can just plug that oil well.

Morning at Orange Beach (Skywatch Friday)

This is morning at Orange Beach, Alabama where the break of waves and call of seagulls are the only sounds. There were a few hovering clouds due to Tropical Storm Eduardo way out in the western gulf, and the tides were stronger than usual, so red flags dotted the beach.
We drove less than four hours from Selma to get here, and the area has recovered beautifully from Hurricane Ivan in 2004.The hurricane plowed through the Cayman Islands before heading north through the Gulf of Mexico. It's eye came in at Perdido Beach near the Alabama-Florida state line.
Alabama's beaches are family friendly, and at our condo complex, we saw cars from Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas.
