SCENES FROM SOUTH ALABAMA

After an inspired and inspiring time with poets of all ages and experience at University of South Alabama in Mobile, youngest son and I meandered back to Birmingham by way of backroads. Here's some of what we saw:
Cows!

War Memorial

A woman hanging clothes on a line

A Caboose (Frisco City)

Public Art (Monroeville)



A Young Musician


So Many Churches!

Soul Food (Ms. Kitty's in Camden)

A horse staked out beside Hwy. 29

Abandoned building on Hwy. 5

Cemetery (Selma)

    lovely photos, irene. you remind me of the time when i lived in alabama, and i spent days driving the backroads, through scenes like these, stopping to investigate whenever the urge hit me ... i love abandoned houses, and i feel a strong impulse to go inside this one and wonder about the lives that transpired there :-)
