A view of some changing leaves in Piedmont Park over the weekend. Aren't they beautiful?! I love the bright orange and yellow.

This past weekend was the Atlanta Pride Festival. The festival has an enormous parade which is one of its highlights. This guy was decked out in his rainbow and bubble wrap suit. I thought it was pretty creative.

Look at this sweet face! How could you not love this face? Although, my grandmother has given Coco the nickname Double-Ugly. So not true!

**I stand corrected! It isn't Coco that my grandmother has nicknamed Double-Ugly. It's her canine brother! He's a totally different breed, Blue Heeler, I think.**

This little bird is just hanging out waiting for its lunch at the bird feeder.

Sunday Six: Week 44

2009-11-02T19:28:00.002-05:00

This week I have a Recap Six from all around the Atlanta area.

First up, I took this shot while sitting in traffic Friday night. I was headed downtown to meet up with friends for dinner. It took nearly an hour and a half to get there. Normally, it would take a half hour. Halloween mixed with the foggy weather really had Metro Atlanta in gridlock.

Next we have a shot of a couple of biker chicks in the Atlanta Pride parade.

A few shots of Atlanta's beautiful Piedmont Park . . .

This isn't really a shot of Piedmont Park, but more of the reflection of the sky above the park.

Finally, a late afternoon shot of downtown Atlanta.

Until next week . . .

This is Susie. She belongs to my Dad. She's a sweet kitty, but here she looks mighty grumpy.

Sunday Six: Week 43

2009-11-01T08:08:00.003-05:00

So, you're likely to see two Sunday Sixes this week. I'm only now getting around to uploading my photos from last week! These are all from a trip home to Tennessee last weekend.

Pretty fall leaves on one of the trees in my Mom's front yard.

A weed blowing in the wind.

This is Coco. Coco technically belongs to one of the neighbors. However, she is quickly making herself at home with all of the neighbors.

She's a sweet, sweet girl.

I really wanted to bring her home with me. I love her.

I spotted this little coneflower in Mom's driveway. I like the way it looks against the red brick.

More photos later . . .

Sunday Six: Week 42

2009-10-19T19:39:00.004-04:00

Another Recap Six this week, all from over the weekend.

Saturday afternoon was the annual Little Five Points Halloween Fest. The festival includes a big parade with lots of people dressed up. It's not just the paraders who are in costume, a lot of people in the crowd are too. This is a shot of one area of the crowd. It was like this a majority of the parade route. There were people everywhere!

One of the local haunted houses and their parade float.

I ended up walking along with some friends on their float. We had a mix of costumes. Here's a cowboy and Alex from "A Clockwork Orange." We also had a pirate, two more as different versions of Alex, and President Ronald Reagan.

Also at the parade was this guy dressed up as Snow White. If you've never been to Little Five Points in Atlanta . . . it's a very unique place.

Last night Allison and I went to the Falcons/Bears game. It was lots of fun!

The Falcons play in a dome. This is part of a support column. I thought the angles were interesting.

Until next week . . .

Candy (240 of 365)

2009-10-17T11:32:00.001-04:00

Candied apples on sale at Kilwin's. Don't they look yummy? I think the apple covered in gummies is too cute. My friend and I ended up choosing other things. Chocolate-peanut butter fudge for him and chocolate covered marshmallows for me. Yum!

Pink (239 of 365)

2009-10-15T11:30:00.001-04:00

Lots of pink in this display. I do, however, think the sequined pink clog is a lot of fun! I don't think I'd wear it, but it's still fun.

Mismatched (237 of 365)

2009-10-13T11:30:00.000-04:00

Definitely a mismatched outfit on this mannequin lamp. I came across this while rummaging through an antique store.

The Games We Play (236 of 365)

2009-10-12T11:30:00.000-04:00

Buck and his toy kong. He loves for it to be thrown, but never wants to let it go!

Sunday Six: Week 41

2009-10-11T20:55:00.003-04:00

This week, I had a chance to drive down into South Georgia for work. This week's Sunday Six is a Recap taken during my little morning trip.

Fog, fog, and more fog. I drove through this stuff the entire way!

It makes the lake look kind of eerie, huh?

Not sure what type of grass this is, but it was all over the place.

The last three pictures are from historic Greenwood Cemetery.

Until next week . . .

Sunday Six: Week 40

2009-10-11T20:43:00.003-04:00

So, I'm a week late on this Recap Six, but better late than never, right?

I spotted several sunflower fields from the interstate while on my way to court one morning. I was determined to find them on my way back. Luckily, they were right off the interstate and I was able to snap a few pictures. I was too chicken to get out of the truck and walk through the fields.

Last Friday I took in the first game of the last Braves series. Derek Lowe was pitching against the Nationals. This was the first time I'd seen Derek pitch live for the Braves. It's just not the same seeing him out of a Red Sox uniform. :)

I was greeted by this on my way home from the Braves game. Usually, traffic isn't this bad late on a Friday night. For some reason, GDOT decided to close 4 lanes of traffic. Why on earth they would decide to close 4 lanes just as event traffic is picking up is beyond me!

On Sunday, I went for a long walk around historic Roswell. This is a broken headstone in the Old Roswell Cemetery.

The main street through the Roswell Square invites its businesses to create scarecrows for Halloween. I thought this one was pretty cute.

And, in case you were wondering, Elvis is alive and well on Canton Street!

This week's Sunday Six coming up in just a bit!

Stay Tuned . . .

2009-10-05T20:29:00.002-04:00

This week's Sunday Six and a few other pictures are coming. I'm overloaded, so it'll be a day or two.

On another note . . . October baseball is almost here!

Autumn (235 of 365)

2009-09-30T11:30:00.001-04:00

A first glimpse of autumn as seen from the Hooper Bald Trail in the Cherokee National Forest. This part of the country is so beautiful during the fall!

Bridges or Tunnels (234 of 365)

2009-09-29T11:30:00.000-04:00

Speaking of the floods last week, this is one of the bridges that transportation officials closed for several days due to the rising flood waters. This is the Chattahoochee River. At one point over the last several days, the river was well above flood stage in several parts of North Georgia. Rivers are definitely not supposed to be this close to you when you're crossing a bridge! It's not a really good picture, but this was one of the few shots I was able to get of the water.

Government (233 of 365)

2009-09-28T11:30:00.002-04:00

The county government building in Douglas County, Georgia. I make my way there fairly often for court. This particular county was one of the hardest hit by the floods last week in North Georgia.

Sunday Six: Week 39

2009-09-27T19:43:00.002-04:00

This week I have a Recap Six. As usual, nothing terribly exciting, but hopefully there's something yummy!

But first, here's a view of what we've been dealing with here in Atlanta -- torrential downpours. It has rained the entire week!

This morning when I came back from the grocery store I noticed this:

It's a hot pink cornhole game! How fun is that? Evidently, my neighbors have been playing.

Now on to the yumminess . . .

Tonight, I'm having my first dinner guest at my new place! We're having roast chicken.

I stuffed the chicken with all of this: lemon slices, garlic, basil, oregano, and rosemary. Here's hoping it turns out yummy!

Finally, a close up shot of my lemon slices.

Until next week . . .

Hobby (232 of 365)

2009-09-27T11:30:00.001-04:00

Knitting is my Great Aunt B's hobby. For the last several years every time I've seen her, she's been knitting. This was the thread she was using last weekend on one of her projects.

Vapor (231 of 365)

2009-09-26T12:17:00.003-04:00

A view of the Cherokee National Forest from the Cherohala Skyway. It was foggy all through North Carolina and Tennessee last weekend. I've always loved the fog that sets in around the mountains.

Sunday Six: Week 38

2009-09-20T20:27:00.003-04:00

I have a Recap Six this week, all from a weekend spent with family in North Carolina. We had a good time laughing, visiting and eating way too much good food!

This was my contribution to Saturday night's Italian dinner. It's a caprese pasta salad and it turned out pretty well, I think.

On Saturday morning, a large group of us went adventuring through the mountains. The remaining pictures are a few of the things that caught my eye while we were hiking.

Until next week . . .

Sunday Six: Week 37

2009-09-13T16:28:00.003-04:00

It's a Recap Six this week! Okay, so there are pictures from inside my loft, but only three!

Tuesday night I headed into town to meet Allison for dinner at Flip. As usual, I was playing while driving through traffic.

This one's blurry, but I didn't have my tripod with me. Taken from the West End looking towards Midtown Atlanta.

This is a full view of Midtown Atlanta's evening skyline, only with lots of squiggles! One of these days I'll be in a spot for some nice skyline photos with my tripod in hand.

Painting was on the agenda for today. This color is called "Starry Sky."

No turning back now!

The finished project! I'm quite pleased with it. Check out my new ladder, too! 8 feet tall! Hey, I'm short, people! I take every opportunity I have to stand tall!

Until next week . . .
