Vacation & Holidays (217 of 365)

The view from our pool cabana. Sadly, we were only able to enjoy the cabana for about a half hour before it started pouring rain. The wind was blowing chairs and cushions all along the pool area. We camped out inside the cabana until it slowed to a steady rain and then, headed inside for lunch.

Crossroads (216 of 365)

A South Beach intersection, complete with neon lights and passing cars.

Holes (215 of 365)

Holes in the clouds which let the bright, blue skies come through. It rained off and on Saturday. Thankfully, it let up just enough for us to get into the concert venue without getting drenched!

It's Saturday Morning (214 of 365)

This is a glass divider within our hotel restaurant. I took this one while we were waiting to be seated for breakfast. I just like the lines of the glass.

This is a Beck's beer billboard we passed on our drive back to the hotel from South Beach. I like that you can see the Beck's all the way across the photo.

9:00 a.m. (212 of 365)

This is the view from the other side of our balcony overlooking the beach. I took this photo Saturday morning, just after 9:00 a.m. It was rainy and cloudy in both directions, but most of my photos still turned out okay.

Summer Fun (211 of 365)

This past weekend I flew down to South Florida. We had no plans other than relaxation and a Dave Matthews Band show! This is the view from one side of our balcony overlooking downtown Ft. Lauderdale.

Sunday Six: Week 33 (Bright Lights Edition)

This week I have a Recap Six all from my long weekend in Fort Lauderdale.


I played with light trails during some of our drives around South Florida. I tried to pick things with lots of colors and shapes.


The I-95 North sign on our way back from night two of Dave Matthews Band in West Palm Beach. It was a great show!


Fun lights that we passed on our way back from South Beach.


This is a Tex-Mex bar in Ft. Lauderdale.


I have no clue what these lights are. I do, however, love the lines of the building lights!


Okay, so not an abstract photo. This is the Colony Hotel on Ocean Drive in South Beach. (And, yes. I deliberately cut off the full name of the hotel.)

Next week . . . photos from this week's trip! Then, you're back to the basics of in and around Metro Atlanta.

Sunday Six: Week 32

This week I have a New Six all taken late yesterday afternoon.


Here I am headed into Atlanta on the way to dinner. It's a little crooked, but hey, I was driving. Notice the new pavement on the downtown connector. This has been the cause of major traffic delays.


A little closer into downtown here, and you can still see the damage from the tornado that came through last year on the Westin. (It's the circular building.) The hotel's shape requires specially crafted windows. Once they're all made the actual replacement will begin.


This is Buck.


This is Sunny.


Don't let their sweet and mellow looks fool you . . . . While they are sweet pups, they're a little overzealous.


They are constantly at each other playing and fighting! They also tend to show out when company is around which means I tend to leave their house covered in scratches, bruises and doggy kisses!

Until next week!

Sunday Six: Week 31

I have a New Six today, again, all from inside. I snapped all six of these playing with my 60mm lens.


I bought these little green beads the last time I visited Miss Allison. They're actually air fresheners and the scent is green tea. They don't smell so much anymore, but they're still pretty.


An inside shot of the book I'm reading. I made sure to focus in on the subject. ;)


This is the corner of one of my favorite picture frames.


Make-up powder. I accidentally spilled the last bit of my powder. I decided to turn my frustration into a photo op!


This jar holds air freshener. The scent is a mixture of cranberry and sandalwood. I still have yet to figure out how much I like it.


These are the reeds that sit in my diffuser jar! This turned out to be my favorite photo of the day. It was a complete whim, too!

See you next week!
