The Wildflower Cafe



The Wildflower Cafe in Mentone, Alabama is a favorite place to wile away time with good friends while enjoying great food in an eclectic relaxing friendly atmosphere whether it is for lunch or dinner. Chef Ben always has something wonderful and unique on the menu and Moon always has a smile on her face as she greets everyone.

Hope for the Future


Children are gifts from God and our hope for the future. They are fragile beings in our care to love and nourish. Oh, to once again see the world through the eyes of an innocent child.

Wild Flower


I love the simple things in life. Taking the time to really see the world we live in provides a glimpse of beauty rarely seen by most people in their rushed lives. Small blooms clinging to a hillside on a dusty road have a beauty all their own if we take the time to look.

Let's Talk




Animals touch my heart in a way nothing else can. I am always drawn to them when I see them out in public. This man was at a local street festival and had a special bond with his dog. I enjoyed watching them communicate.

Smokin'




Everyone enjoys barbecue and a dedicated cook with a large grill will always attract attention. The aroma was filling the streets as he cooked.

Bird House



Most anything old and rugged or run down will draw my attention. This bird house was nailed to the post of an old dilapidated barn. It was as vacant as the abandoned house near the old barn.

Serenity




I never get tired of this view. It becomes new again with each passing hour and season. There is a blessing in being able to live in a rural area.
