Now the Day is Over

Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.

We've had some really remarkable sunsets lately!

(The verse is from the prayer hymn, Now the Day is Over, the words of which 

are comforting any time but especially during the week that we remember

 the evil events of Sept. 11, 2001.)

Ye Olde Phone Booth

I'm not sure what the story is here, but there was no phone connected

 when I attempted to use it! :)

However, it sure makes an interesting attraction along Broad Street,

 and I appreciate that it was wheelchair accessible.

Harvest

H is for HARVEST as in muscadines!

Muscadines are ripening every day, and most are free for the finding.

 The vines are prolific, and this summer's rains brought an abundance. 

We boiled the juice out of these tasty fruits and got several jars of jelly.

 There were more, but we have shared!

Hummingbird

A hummingbird pauses atop a garden cage just waiting

 for his turn at the feeder nearby.

Catching these hyper little birds in a posed position for even a moment

 is a challenge, but my son had the patience to wait!

The Labor Day Buck

What a beautiful sight this Labor Day morning!

Our son spotted this whitetail buck across the fence from our backyard,

 and our daughter-in-law grabbed her camera. If you look closely, you can see

 how tall the deer's antlers are and see that they are still in velvet.

In the Pink

It's September Theme Day, PINK, over at City Daily Photo Blogs, and pink boots

 seem to be all the rage these days. Have you noticed how many boots are pink?

 Would you like or do you have a pair of pink boots? Selma certainly has a good supply!

Cat's Day Out

From the porch to the bushes to the sidewalk and grass, this pretty white cat

 followed a bug on a beautiful day in Old Town Selma.

Down Under

At the corner of Water and Broad, take the Songs of Selma Park steps

 down under the bridge. There is a beautiful terrace overlooking the river,

 and you will be standing beneath crepe myrtle branches,  an assortment of vines

 and even a few clumps of four-o-clocks.

Your Speed

School has started all across Selma, and among the new additions for school zones

 are electronic speed limit signs. This one stands near Byrd Elementary, 

and what a help it is for drivers! The sign flashes your vehicle's speed 

as you approach the zone, reminding you to slow down and watch for children.

Grumbles Alley

Selma is a friendly little city. It really is! 

But visitors might not realize that if they read this sign!

We're featuring the letter G over at ABC Wednesday!
