Lowland Marsh near Mobile Bay, Theodore, Alabama

On a recent trip down to Bayou la Batre, Alabama, I happily concluded my business errands shortly before sunset with the opportunity to photograph lands and waters along the western side of the Mobile Bay.

My last photograph of the day was made at this lowland marsh, whose waters would slowly become more saline as they moved toward the bay.

A fiery sunset blazes in the western sky and reflects off the marsh's still surface as the air begins to chill, shrugging off the day's warmth.

Low Winter Sun on the Rails to Trails, Fultondale

As the winter sun daily rises lower in the southern sky, the splashes of color that the are landmark of autumn's arrival begin to peter out and become scarce. The shadows deepen and the light takes on a colder hue.

Spring Has Sprung and Fall Has Fell, Part 3

In order to make sure credit is given where it is due, I must recognize that this photograph would not have been taken had not Darby gotten a wild hair about her and taken off down a side trail on Black Creek Park's Rails to Trails. There is seemingly no accounting for her urges, but once in a while, I find myself grateful for them.
