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.

Up On the Roof
An old water tower on the roof of the old Giant warehouse in downtown Atlanta.

Downtown at Night
A view of the holiday traffic in downtown Atlanta. This is near Centennial Olympic Park and the Georgia Aquarium.

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.

Always Followthrough
Brian McCann swings the bat during a game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Unfortunately, the Braves lost this game 12-0. It wasn't pretty.

A Hat Full of Flowers
One more photo from Saturday's Inman Park Festival Parade. This is another member of the Seed and Feed Marching Band, complete with flowery hat!

One Wild and Wacky Parade
One thing I love about living in Atlanta is the great festivals that occur throughout the year. My favorite festival by far is the Inman Park Festival. Inman Park is a beautiful neighborhood in downtown Atlanta with gorgeous architecture, great restaurants and shops, and very fun residents. Each year the Inman Park Festival brings great artists and musicians from around the country, along with one fun parade.
The festival's parade is full of quirky bands and floats and is a huge draw for the festival itself. This is the drum major for the Seed & Feed Marching Band. Every single one of their band members is dressed just as wild and wacky as she is!

Whales on the Wall
When the Georgia Aquarium was being built in Atlanta several years ago this large mural was painted on the side of the Underground Atlanta parking garage to promote it. It was painted by Wyland who is known for painting ocean murals all across the world. He currently holds the world record for largest mural.

A peek at the City
The Atlanta skyline peeking through some trees. This photo was taken at the Atlanta Botanical Garden.

How to Make a Tropical Reef
This is a man-made tropical reef at the Georgia Aquarium. The aquarium grows their own coral and uses an enormous filtration system. Interestingly, all the tanks at the aquarium are filtered every hour! That's nearly 8 million gallons every hour.

Dr. King
This is the grave of Martin Luther King, Jr. and his wife Coretta Scott King. Dr. King was born in Atlanta, and the King Center has wonderful exhibits detailing his life.

Remnants of Snow
I snapped this picture just as most of the snow had melted around the city. You can see just a small amount left on these Oakland Cemetery statues.
