This old water tower sits on the roof of the Giant warehouse in downtown Atlanta, just near Centennial Olympic Park.

Sunday Six: Week 28

I have another Recap Six this week, but nothing too exciting. Here they are in order by when they were taken.


Last Sunday night my aunt and cousin stayed with me. We went out to dinner and walked along the Roswell Square afterward. This piece of art sits outside an artists market, just down from the main square. He's a cute little baseball player, isn't he?


On down Canton St. from the artists market we stopped to wait while my cousin ran up to a store window to check the hours for the next day. I snapped this quick photo of the streetlight.


I had more family in town this weekend, 5 more members to be exact. This morning we met for breakfast. On my walk to the restaurant I spotted this piece of art. It's a peacock, I think.


I also spotted this pretty, tin flower outside the Red Door Playhouse.


Friday night we headed to Ikea to do a bit of shopping. I finally found a duvet cover that I liked for my extra bedroom. I wanted something colorful and with a bit of orange. I took a photo of it tonight after it came out of the dryer and was stuffed with my down comforter.


Finally, I needed some background noise while I worked getting things settled tonight. It had to be something that wouldn't distract me. I chose the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings.

Until next week, when hopefully I'll have more exciting pictures!

Our Town (194 of 265)

This gazebo sits in Plum Creek Village, near the historic Roswell square. The Roswell square has many interesting shops, galleries and restaurants. It's a fun place to walk around and explore.

Something Borrowed (193 of 365)

I borrowed this set of drill bits and screws, along with a more powerful drill, from a friend of mine in order to hang some items around my new place. My tiny set of bits has disappeared somewhere and my poor, little drill barely has enough power to push through drywall!

Earrings (192 of 365)

I bought these earrings at a shop in Denver last May. Allison, myself and another friend of ours met for lunch and walked around downtown for a bit. We all thought these Scrabble piece earrings were lots of fun, but I think I was the only one who bought a pair. I wear them all the time, and I get compliments on them nearly each time I wear them.

City Lights (191 of 365)

Another shot of my favorite midtown Atlanta skyscraper, the Bank of America Plaza.

Streetlights and taillights in downtown Atlanta.

Moving (188 of 365)

This has been my life for the past week or two. I have boxes everywhere! Luckily they are mostly empty at this point.

Sunday Six: Week 27 (4th of July Edition)

Lots of fireworks photos ahead in this week's Sunday Six! It's a Recap Six, but just barely. Although, I do have two warnings to go along with the fireworks shots. First, some of you may recall that I suffer from the long lamented short-photographer syndrome. Due to this, even with a tripod, you'll notice a few heads in the mix. Please ignore them! Second, there is absolutely nothing I could do about the very large, very ugly construction crane right in the middle of the fireworks display. I suppose those silly contractors refused to take it down! :)

Hope everyone who celebrates had a safe, and happy 4th of July!


Before the fireworks began . . . we had a little refreshment in the form of prickly pear frozen margaritas. Yum!


These shots were taken from a rooftop deck near Centennial Olympic Park.


We had a wonderful view of the downtown fireworks show.



Although I didn't get any shots of other fireworks displays, being in downtown Atlanta, you could see the fireworks from Lenox Mall, Stone Mountain, and some of the other outlying areas of Atlanta.





Until next week . . .
