Birmingham

The “living wall” inside Birmingham-Shuttlesworth Airport filled with vegetation that grows in Alabama. This is so cool, I stared at it for at least 15 minutes examining all the different types of plants. I want this in my house!

Red Mountain
Aaaah Back home! Mountain Brook is were it all began for me many moons ago! This image is of "The Old Mill" or "Old Mill House", a 1926 replica of Perryman's Mill built by the Jemison Companies to promote the newly-developed residential suburb of Mountain Brook. It is located on the foundations of the earlier grist mill, on the bank of Shades Creek at 2780 Mountain Brook Parkway. Tip - Early morning is better. Be aware this is a private residence in a residential area... not a tourist attraction. There is a linear park with a popular running trail along this road. Plenty of pull in parking spots along the side of the road and a great place to watch the fabulous Mountain Brook housewives strut their stuff. #TroverDetour
