We have big oak trees.
The Hubs and I decided to do a little hometown exploring on our lazy Sunday afternoon. It was quite nice, and I have lots of pictures to prove it.
While its no big secret that I can’t wait to get out of Alabama (currently in Mobile), this is such a beautiful place when you really take the time to see it. I mean really SEE it.
For example, we have really huge oak trees…
…that line the streets of our old neighborhoods.
The camellias, redbuds, and japanese magnolias are sights to see. They are so lovely.
I think I’m going to have to paint this japanese magnolia flower.
The old historic homes are incredible. I wish I lived in one.
(Not that I don’t love our home, The Hubs, I’m just sayin.’)
We live right by the water (you can’t tell, but the water is to the right of The Hubs). We practically live at the beach. So its really easy to spend an afternoon at the beautiful gulf coast beaches without spending money on a hotel. Just come back home!
The Hubs agreed to do a little posing for me…
…and then he decided to walk on the tracks…
…didn’t quite work out for him. I couldn’t have planned this perfect shot!
And that, my little nerdy friends, is Mobile, Alabama. Where do you live and what do you like most about it?
