These pink antique roses flourish along a fence on Lapsley Street.
Their contrast with a background of Spanish Moss, I think,
is rather romantically striking.

Autumn Foliage and Blue Sky
The leaves, they are a'changin' in downtown Selma, and the reds and oranges
are especially accentuated by drapes of grey Spanish moss.
Against a cobalt sky and distinctive architecture, my oh my,
what a beautiful morning for a walk!

The Old Live Oak Cemetery Spring House
Old Live Oak Cemetery is a never-ending canvas for artists and photographers,
and its colors are most beautiful in April.
Behind drapes of Spanish Moss, you see the Spring House or Pigeon House.
It was here that Memorial Day concerts and programs were held,
and it is also here where pigeons used to roost in its gables,
now closed off. Today, it serves as storage.

Moss at the Mausoleum
Selma's Spanish MOSS is quite an attraction but nowhere better
than the deep canopies it creates in Old Live Oak Cemetery,
In Spring, it is even more beautiful as azalea blossoms are drenched
with its tendrils. Here, the moss hangs over the MAUSOLEUM

Mighty Moss
Spanish Moss climbs, winds, wraps, trails and hugs its hosts
to create multitudes of photo ops;
thus, it's the Mighty Moss of the South!

Moss Catcher
I think Selma shall never run out of fences for the Friday Fences blog hop,
and many of these old iron works of art also serve as moss catchers,
and that just adds to the southernness.

Revival
There's a revival going on in Old Live Oak Cemetery this week!
An angel points the way to Heaven, while azaleas and dogwoods fill the "pews,"
and a cool breeze lifts the spirit of the Spanish Moss!

Romancing the Town
Azalea blossoms, nestled among magnolia and Spanish Moss,
have no trouble romancing the town in early April.

Budding Azaleas
It's still a long way until Spring, but some of the azaleas
in Old Live Oak Cemetery just can't wait!

Enchanted Street
It's "raining" Spanish moss on this Selma street!
Really, you have to watch for falling Spanish moss along the sidewalk,
but that's just part of what makes Old Town so ENCHANTING.

Misty River
A low fog crawled across the Alabama River Friday morning
when the sun beamed after a shower.

Near the Cross
"Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
bring its scenes before me;
help me walk from day to day
with its shadow o'er me."

Red Berries and Spanish Moss
Dogwood is beautiful year-round and even more beautiful
with its clingy friend, Spanish Moss!

ABC Wednesday, O is for Old Live Oak Cemetery
ABC Wednesday is featuring the letter "O," and oh my, once again I see an opportunity
to post a photo of Old Live Oak Cemetery!
We call it Old Live Oak, because there is also a New Live Oak Cemetery.
The old cemetery is home to numerous outstanding monuments and billowing sheets
of Spanish Moss. It is just optimum for snapping pictures, too!

Friday Fences and Fifth Anniversary
Old Live Oak Cemetery is lending this ornate fence
and gate to celebrate this blog's fifth anniversary today!
In this photo are five of my favorite photo subjects:
old wrought iron, lovingly inscribed tombstones, dogwood,
Spanish Moss and over in the background, azalea.
Thank you to everyone who has visited Selma
through my blog and especially for your kind comments!
