Snow-topped Gazebo

While most of Selma's snow melted Saturday afternoon, the miraculous white stuff managed to cling to the roof of this gazebo for another day or two. An almost full moon on Sunday night added to this awesome event when we got to see moonlight reflected on leftover snow.

To: Zentmrs, Jana, Halcyon and American Fork...thanks for making my day with the "Make My Day" bloggers' award! You all make my day with such wonderful photography and interesting posts. I presented awards to 10 photobloggers several days ago, so I guess I will end my "award fest" for now!

WELCOME!

Selma is among the oldest cities in Alabama and has the largest contiguous historic district. It is known for its Civil War and Civil Rights history. The Battle of Selma was one of the last fought in the War Between the States, and the town was a center for the Voting Rights Movement in the 1960s. Today, with a population of about 20,000, Selma is the largest town in the western Black Belt region. The Black Belt, named for the color of its soil, stretches across Central Alabama from Mississippi to Georgia.
