Beautiful Faces in Southern Places
Recently, I met this sweet lady.
Mamie is a beautiful lady who helped me choose my Valentines gifts in Birmingham. When I asked her what makes her happiest, her reply was simple, “family.”
Joyce is a beautiful lady we chatted with at the pier on the first sunny day we’d seen in a long time. As we talked she shared something as beautiful as she is. She moved to our fair city 22 years ago with her husband who has since passed away. When I asked what kept her here, she said he does. “His ashes are spread out at the the Middle-Bay Lighthouse.”
This couple was out walking their new puppy. When they put Chloe down, she was all over my feet, so Joyce sitting nearby, asked them, “She’s so little, do you ever step on her?” He answered, “Not when she’s around.”
Meet Brett, from Mobile. Such a sweet face. She was here celebrating her grandfather’s 80th birthday.
Beautiful face seen at Gulf Shores.
When I asked Charlie what he loved about Fairhope, his answer surprised me. “Not as much as I used to, it’s getting too busy.”
Affectionately known as the “tomato lady,” this beautiful lady helps keep us healthy.
Our tourists are beautiful.
Stephen is my photography teacher. He is truly one of the nicest people I’ve met since moving here.
This little angel loves snowmen. Especially those that live near the pier.
Everywhere you look, there are beautiful faces. We just need to say hello to these beautiful faces and whole new world opens up on the coast of Alabama.
