Alabama On My Mind . . . and more Miss Birdie

A few more photos from last weekend: above, a lake that looked to me like an image of perfect serenity. I pulled off the road heading home early Sunday morning to get the shot but neglected to notice the name of the place where I was.

Below, a perfect little country church somewhere between Birmingham and Wetumpka.

UPDATE! Tammy Lynn, who was responsible for Murder on the Menu in Wetumpka, has just emailed to say that this was the church in the funeral scene of the movie "Big Fish" which was filmed in and around Wetumpka. Cool!

There are pecan trees everywhere -- groves and remnants of groves. Almost everyone has one or two in their yards. What wealth!

And I take so many pictures of sunrises that it's a real pleasure to see an honest-to-god sunset.

I was up past midnight Thursday night, untangling Miss Birdie and putting it into a different form. I won't go into detail but will say Thank heavens for the computer! I can rearrange chapters and highlight bits that need to be redone to remove Myrna Louise. Now I've begun the slow re-read and working my way through the changes.

Stay tuned.
