Drawing Fun

The work of some chalk artists on sidewalks at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. It made me smile to turn the corner and see this! I'm sure the kids had lots of fun!

Mirror For Sale

This mirror is one a friend and I spotted inside a fun store called Paris on Ponce. They have tons of antique and vintage furniture and accessories.

4th of July Bokeh

I took this photo of the traffic heading out of downtown on the 4th of July. Although you can't really tell it's traffic, I do like how the bokeh turned out.

I've posted several daytime shots of the Bank of America Plaza in Midtown Atlanta. This is the first nighttime shot I've taken which has actually turned out. It's a bit dark, but I'm still fairly pleased with it.

Fireworks!

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.

Nico

This is Nico. Nico is one of three Beluga whales at the Georgia Aquarium. He lives with two other female Belugas. Nico is a flirt and he loves to watch the people who visit the aquarium. On the afternoon I took this photo I was, surprisingly, the only person at the exhibit. Nico would swim back and forth across the front of the exhibit and right up to the second level where I stood. If I moved, he moved with me.

I suppose this flirtatious nature explains the frisky activities between he and one of the female Belugas. The aquarium is hoping there might be a baby Beluga coming soon!

Rapt With Attention

This little boy is so engrossed in the Ocean Voyager tank at the Georgia Aquarium. It's easy to be enraptured by all of the beautiful sea life swimming around the tank.
