Load of Logs

Finding your vehicle behind a log truck is a pretty common occurrence in Selma. I bet this truck is headed to International Paper's Riverdale Plant in East Dallas County. The plant produces paper and is a major employer for our area. In fact, forestry and forest products is our county's largest industry.

Marie from Montpelier Daily Photo made my day when she awarded me the "You Make My Day Award" for bloggers. Thank you, Marie!
"The award rules say: "Give the award to 10 people whose blogs bring you happiness and inspiration and make you feel happy about blogland. Let them know by posting a comment on their blog so they can pass it on. Beware you may get the award several times."

Okay, narrowing this award down to just 10 bloggers is very difficult. You all make my day most of the time! However, when I checked to see which ones I seem to just "gravitate" to over and over, here is a portion:
Pat at Guelph Daily Photo,
Southern Heart at Memphis Daily Photo
Clarice at St. Malo Daily Photo
American Fork at American Fork Daily Photo
Smilnsigh at Saratoga Springs Daily Photo
Steve Buser at New Orleans Daily Photo

Chris at Nashville Daily Photo

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.
