Ice Cold

Selma's municipal fountain has been ice cold several times this year!

 This photo was taken in early January during our first winter blast.

Keeping Warm in the Hay

One way to get your hooves out of the snow is to stand in the hay or lie down in it!

This photo is enhanced with Adobe Photoshop's watercolor effect,

 which seems to be the rage among some of my Facebook friends these days.

Skywatch Friday, Pink Over White

It's not often that we are treated to a pink glow over white snow!

But this was our sunset one evening last week, and its magnificence

 lessened our "suffering" through temperatures 

that didn't rise above freezing for almost three days.

"It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other;

 nothing is deprived of its warmth."

Psalm 19:6

Signs, Signs (MLK Jr. Historic Walking Tour)

February is Black History Month, and Selma participates

 by offering school field trips to local Civil Rights sites 

that include Brown Chapel AME Church.

   During the 1960s and beyond, ministers and churches

 played pivotal roles for social and political change.

Old Depot Door

The Old DEPOT Museum offers many opportunities for interesting photographs

 including this DOUBLE DOOR. (It's D Week at ABC Wednesday)!

It's also a great place to browse through Selma, DALLAS County

 and Black Belt history exhibits.

Our World, Snow at the Museum

Winter hit hard in the Deep South last week as sleet and snow blanketed the town.

 This was the scene at the Vaughan-Smitherman Museum last Tuesday.

 Usually, a one-inch snowfall melts in a few hours, but the temps were so frigid

 that this snow took four days to melt completely!

Thanks to guest photographer Christine Weerts.

Icicles

Until last week, it had been 21 years since we saw icicles this long,

 and after an extremely cold winter, we hope this little ice age is over!

February Theme Day, ENTRY

"Entry" is the theme for City Daily Photo Blogs February Theme Day,

 and here is a pasture gate where farm trucks pass to check the livestock.

 It really shows up a lot better in the snow!

Skywatch Friday, Winter Gray

Our skies wore winter gray with a swath of blue earlier this week

 as clearing came slowly after Tuesday's two inches of snow and ice.

 Four days later, some of this stuff is STILL on the ground!

 Spring can't come soon enough!
