Greening of Alabama

We drove about an hour south today to go to Cosco for some shopping. The landscape was much greener there than it is here.

Most of the trees have leafed out and the cherry trees are in full bloom. It's interesting how different things are the further south one travels.

Here, a few trees are putting on leaves.  The temps will dip down close to freezing tomorrow night and the tender things will fret, but I don't think it will be cold enough to harm them. We'll see.

The blueberry bushes here are in full bloom. I shot a picture, but apparently I moved when I took the picture because it was blurry.

Not to worry, I ran it through the Oil Paining filter in Photoshop and while it's not as stunning as it would have been had it been in focus, it has to do in a pinch.

I hope you all have a great weekend.

  1. Ahhh...blueberries...Jack's constant challenge in our yard! I'll show him the pic and make him wish for summer when our crop should be ready. Snow today...I'm Ok with it...sort of. Work this week went fine but tiring. My son Jack is heading down your way tomorrow and really looking forward to it. I'm hoping they find some warmth!

  6. Your blueberry bush is loaded, should be a good crop by looking at the photo.
    Have a great time at your gig.

  7. It's not blurry; it's "impressionistic." It's all how you sell it!
