Bathed in Golden Hour - 1055 by J & W Photography Via Flickr: Facebook | FAA It will soon be that time of a year again for the Cahaba wild waterlilies. However we won't be here that time of this year due to another trip scheduled ahead. So we would like to share a photo of the waterlilies taken last year. Hope you enjoy. For your interest, below is the information about the Cahaba River waterlilies: From early May to late June, the shoals of the Cahaba River are transformed into a showcase of floral delight as the rare Cahaba Lily blooms. Found only in Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina; the Cahaba Lily requires swift current and direct sunlight to flourish. The plant grows to about 3' tall and develops from a bulb that lodges in between rocks in the shoals. It flowers from roughly between Mother's Day and Father's Day. Each delicate, lightly fragranced flower blooms for one day.

We will never forget the bombing at 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, on this date September 15, 1963.

A bomb planted by Ku Klux Klan members ripped through a Birmingham church, killing four little girls as they prepared for Sunday services.

The FBI determined that four members of a local KKK klavern known as the "Cahaba River Bridge Boys" were responsible for the bombing. The first prosecution didn't come until 1977. Then two more in the early 2000s. The fourth killer died, never being brought to account.

Following seven years of advocacy by the Center for Biological Diversity, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today proposed to protect the oblong rocksnail as endangered. The rocksnail was previously considered extinct until 2011, and today only one small population in Alabama remains.

The oblong rocksnail is endemic to the Cahaba River, which flows 180 miles from metropolitan Birmingham through central Alabama. Today the rocksnails only inhabit five miles of river. The Service determined that designating critical habitat was prudent but decided to delay designation until an economic impact study is completed.

“I’m so relieved that we have a second chance to save this unique snail,” said Will Harlan, a senior scientist at the Center. “We almost lost the little oblong rocksnail forever. We can prevent it from going extinct and improve the health of the Cahaba River which it needs to survive.”

Got Becky and Elvis on my mind, what are they up to 😭

Briiiii! I am sorry for neglecting you, is it weird that I want to be sitting at my computer and focused when I respond to you? Here are some head canonnish thoughts about Elvis and Becky...

It is Becky's third day at Graceland, and she and Lisa found a pack of Tarot cards in Elvis' pile of spiritual books, and so they played them with each other, making up the meaning and then practicing on Charlie (he is such a good sport) and Mary and Billy , before going for a hike around the property. Becky used to be a camp counselor, she's a nature girl, so she is pointing out different types of trees and asking Lisa to show her some of her favorite spots. She finds out that Lisa has never been canoeing, and tells her stories from when she led canoe trips down the Cahaba river as teenager in Birmingham. Lisa forgets (again) that she had decided not to like Becky. Lisa wants to go swimming, but Becky didn't bring a swim suit, so she just goes in her bra and underwear. This is how Elvis finds them when he wakes up, has his breakfast and coffee upstairs, and comes down at around 4:30 or 5 pm. He politely but sternly tells Becky to go find some clothes. When she comes down, Lisa Marie is reading her dad's fortune with Tarot cards. Elvis takes Becky on a tour of Graceland in the golf cart (the same tour Lisa gave her) and they share a knowing smile as Becky pretends she has never seen the sights he shows her, and laughs as he makes the same jokes his daughter made earlier (she knows all her father's jokes, they're almost a rehearsed script for visitors.... she and Becky crack up when Elvis says the same thing about the barn Lisa did...). At some point in the night, he takes her to play racquetball at the local JCC. He hasn't built the court yet, he's going to build it for Becky - well he would say he built it for himself, but they have so much fun playing he is captivated by how she throws her whole self into the competition. Glowing. Sweaty. She really gives him a run for his money. Lisa is the referee.

They get back, bed around 3 am, and fool around a bit, Elvis may be embarassed because he cums on her nightgown while they are kissing but Becky takes his face in her hands and tells him its the best compliment. He makes some dry jokes as he gets ready for bed, and falls a asleep with his head inbetween her breasts.

Just some quickly jotted down notes....

The Old Slab June 18, 2023 Helena, Alabama

The Old Slab used to be a truck crossing over the Cahaba River. At the time, it was the only crossing for twenty miles in either direction. Now it's part of the Cahaba River Park and you can go swimming there.

We spent an afternoon recently at the Cahaba Wildlife Management Area. What a beautiful area! The river is wide and there was no shortage of life present even in early spring. Native Honeysuckle was in bloom and smelled amazing - floral and sweet, much different than other honeysuckle. Found a few fossils and neat rocks, a few native plant species, and lots of smiles and laughs, trying our luck at 20+ gorgeous fishing spots. No fish that day but we enjoyed the experience!
