A dusting of snow just makes everything look more magical.

After a whole day of dire warnings about the big snowstorm that was on it's way, we finally got a few flakes last night

Flemming's fantasies
Click on image to enlarge.
We went to Aldridge Gardens for the first time last week. It was too cold to really linger but I did enjoy seeing Frank Flemming's whimsical sculptures peeking out from the trails. Must go back after it warms up some so we can have a good look around.

It's different
Click on image to enlarge.
I'm still recovering from yesterday's reception at Unity. It was fun AND exhausting. Here's a photo of my latest painting. It's a departure from the kind of work I've been doing. Still not sure how I feel about it. Sometimes I love it--and sometimes I don't.

New Teeth

When Jim was young he got his front teeth knocked out. Recently he had to have his bridge replaced. Dr. Tichansky did a great job. Jim is very pleased.

Topsy turvy

It was sort of an Alice in Wonderland moment the first time I saw this building.

Tinglewood
Click on image to enlarge.
Yesterday I had some business to take care of in Montevallo. I never go to Montevallo without visiting Orr Park to see the sculptures created by Tim Tingle. I love the story of how Tingle (who was a coal miner) turned dead and dying cedars which were slated to be cut down into works of art. You can read the whole story at: http://www.exploresouthernhistory.com/orrpark.html

1st in Class
Click on image to enlarge.
Jim's 2CV was entered in the World of Wheels car show that was held at the convention center this weekend. The 2CV was displayed next to Dr. James Andrews' red Ferrari. Jim won a trophy for "1st in Class". He's pretty happy about that. Don't know if the Ferrari won a prize or not.

Mysterious marks

I found this design in the parking lot of Soho Square. Don't know why it's there but I thought it was interesting.

Tiny treasure
Click on image to enlarge.
I've always thought this was the most charming little building. It's just a simple brick box but I love the ivy growing all over it. Must remember to go back and take another photo in the spring when the shrubs and flowers are in bloom.

Vulcan

Vulcan is probably the most iconic image of Birmingham. It's been photographed a gazillion times but until now it had never been photographed by me. This is a first and I'm pretty darn proud of it.

Reflecting on Andy

This is a photo of a photo that I was allowed to take at the Warhol exhibit. It's out in the lobby so I was able to get interesting reflections through the window.

Sweet gum ball

I'm sort of sentimental about sweet gum balls. Long story.

Sunday morning
Click on image to enlarge.
So, it's a rainy Sunday morning. Jim is out of town. I wake up late, put on my black wool beret that my friend Judy gave me 35 years ago and my black water-repellent jacket that I bought in Memphis and I drive off to Church Street Coffee. I sit at a corner table sipping a most delicious cappuccino and let my eyes and my mind wander. Now that's a sacred experience.
