 on Sunday evening to jog around town.

March Theme Day: People on the Street

March Theme Day is here for City Daily Photo Bloggers,

 and we're posting "People on the Street."

Visitors to last year's Spring Pilgrimage enjoyed horse and buggy rides

 throughout the downtown venues, and it looks like they had fun!

St. Paul's on Pilgrimage

Selma's St. Paul's Episcopal Church has a long and interesting history

 that includes the 1865 Battle of Selma, Civil War generals,

 seminarian and civil rights activist Jonathan Daniels,

 Tiffany stained glass

 and bricks from Alabama's first capital at Cahawba.

The church will be open for tour during next month's Historic Selma Pilgrimage.

Gillman Hall

GILLMAN HALL (circa 1860) is among several lovely Selma homes

 that will be featured on the Historic Selma Pilgrimage  this spring.

 The GREEK Revival Italianate was constructed with solid brick

 and finished with stucco, and the front porch posts were fashioned

 from iron at the second owner's company, Selma Ironworks.

 Pilgrimage is March 14-15.

First Daffodil

The first daffodils opened in my backyard on Monday, and we saw 

the first robin! Surely, despite this latest round of southern snow,

 sleet and freezing rain, spring cannot be far away!

Last year, the daffodils debuted in late January,

 but it was a much warmer winter.
