Ok, new page, now I'll post them...

Me and my "garden" on Sunday morning. Judging by the look on my face, I was telling Lee to "Go Away"...

A tour of downtown Florence, AL...

The 1st Methodist Church across from the park...

The Am South Bank building. This building is a replica of an old local plantation that burned back in the 60's called "The Forks of Cypress". They raised race horses there back before the Civil War.

Another old home called "Colby Hall"...

and right next door, Rogers Hall...

The fountain at my alma mater, The University of North Alabama. That's my Mom and my MIL sitting there...

And just off to the right, the lion habitat...

The UNA mascot, Leo III. His mate Una (yes, her name is a little hokey) is in her den...

Me at the park...

A cool planter they had...

A really big basket...

A cool stained glass window...

Some pottery made by a local artist. I've got one of these in my office. Some people like 'em, some are creeped out by 'em. I think they look like a baby being born...

Those are great shots... You in your garden look gorgeous. I haven't planted any flowers yet. I kindof wonder if I will this year!

The old Southern Architecture is really neat too, thanks for sharing... If I think of Alabama, the white place with the columns is the kind of building I picture!

I think they look like a baby being born...

I do too! And I can see why some would like that and some would be a little un-nerved!

What interesting pictures. I don't know which one I like best:') I missed the horse in the garden and had to take a second look.

Very nice pictures. I love the old Southern mansions. I picture myself as a Southern Belle, in my previous life..lol Your garden is beautiful! I have 4 flats to plant this coming week. I was going to do it this weekend, but thought I better wait. It has rained a lot, and cooled down to the 50's at night. Container gardening is the way to go.

I love your pictures! So colorful and pretty. I've never been to Alabama, it's gorgeous. Those plantation looking homes are incredible. Can you take tours through them?
