Hey, You Can See Stone Mountain!

On a clear, and non-hazy, day in Atlanta, you can pretty much see Stone Mountain from all over Atlanta. This view is from the tarmac at Peachtree-DeKalb airport.

Neat Trees

Looking through to a row of trees in Lullwater Park. Does anyone know what type of trees these are? I like their smooth bark.

Surprise Within Atlanta

Another of several photos I took at Atlanta's Lullwater Park. I'd heard the park was quiet and peaceful. However, I had no idea it would be such a pretty and peaceful place. Lullwater Park is also the location where the President of Emory University lives. I'm sure when the weather is nice it's a crowded place. When I was there recently, I might have seen ten people total!

View From Within

This photo was taken from within the old tower which I posted yesterday. The lighting makes it difficult to get much detail in the tower, but it's a neat perspective.

Old Stone Tower

This is what is left of an old mill tower which I believe was used by Emory University. This tower sits beside the upper falls within Lullwater Park. It's a neat part of the park to explore. The tower itself is open, and now home to a bit of Latin graffiti. This recent trip to Lullwater was my first, but I look forward to visiting it again during the Spring or Summer when the area is more lush.

Field of Flowers

A field of lovely flowers growing at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. I think this is lavender, but I'm not absolutely positive. Can you tell I don't have much of a green thumb?

This is Xi Lan (shee-lahn), Zoo Atlanta's most recent giant panda cub. Xi is now 6 months old and is exploring absolutely everything. He just recently learned to climb, which means this climbing structure is his favorite spot.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat

A late afternoon row on the Chattahoochee River. I have never been able to keep up with a row. Running I can do, but rowing . . . nope!

Open Sesame

These frogs have their mouths open wide for treats, I suppose. Either that, or they're really happy! These are another fun addition to the children's garden inside the Atlanta Botanical Garden.
