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!

Two In Love
This statue stands just outside the main gardens of the Swan House. I see a couple happily in love, or else the guy is in a whole heap of trouble!

Swan House
This home is one of Atlanta's most photographed homes. The Swan House was built in 1928 for the Edward H. Inman family. The home was designed by Atlanta architect Philip Trammell Shutze. After the death of Mrs. Inman, the home and its ground were purchased by the Atlanta Historical Society.

Art Upclose
I took several photographs of this statue (you may remember seeing a wider version a few days ago). I ended up liking the look of this one the best of all.

Man and a Bird
This statue is displayed at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. I forgot to look for the name and the artist, but I think it's a friar. I'm not sure what sort of bird he's holding.
