Sunday Six: Week 47

This week's Sunday Six is a Recap Six. We drove about an hour south of Atlanta yesterday to visit Wild Animal Safari. It was fun and sad at the same time.


North American Elk.


White Tailed Deer.


Isn't she pretty?




I wanted to scoop this little guy up and take him home with me! Look at that face!

Until next week . . .

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

Rainbow (245 of 365)

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.

Sunday Six: Week 44

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 . . .

Sunday Six: Week 42

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 . . .

Ghosts, Ghouls, Goblins (241 of 365)

One of the many folks dressed up at the Little Five Points Halloween parade.

Candy (240 of 365)

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!

The Games We Play (236 of 365)

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

Sunday Six: Week 40

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!

Sunday Six: Week 39

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 . . .

Sunday Six: Week 38

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

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 . . .

Sunday Six: Week 35

This week is a Recap Six from the weekend.


Yesterday I went shopping with some family members who came into Atlanta. We stopped at Ikea first. I am trying to plan out an area to hang a group of my photos in my new place and I really like this arrangement of frames.


After Ikea and a few other stores we headed out of Midtown and to the Perimeter Mall area. This is a drive-by shot of Atlantic Station.


One of the things I had to do today was hit the grocery store. I picked up these strawberries and blueberries which will be perfect for my breakfast!


I also bought a little seedless watermelon in order to try a new recipe I found.


Neither Whole Foods or Kroger had popsicle sticks, so I was stuck buying these sparkly cocktail stirs for my watermelon cubes.


The final product. Watermelon cubes. They're pretty yummy. Although, I think next time I'll add a little more sugar and a little less mint and lemon zest.

Until next week . . .
