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.

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 . . .

Celebration (187 of 365)

Last night I went with a friend to 4th of July party. The super sweet hostess lives in a building with a rooftop deck overlooking downtown Atlanta. We had a great view of the fireworks from Centennial Olympic Park.

Entrance (186 of 365)

The main entrance to Swan House. I think it's interesting that the front and the rear of the house have such different architecture.

Big Events (185 of 365)

The Centennial Olympic Games, held here during the summer of 1996, was definitely a big event for Atlanta. This display includes the Olympic torches used during the Olympic Torch Relay.
