Day 18 (2-8-10)

Back in Atlanta today.

Not sure what church this is. We turned before I ever drove by it.

It looks like – if you kept driving you would run right into it – but the road goes around it instead.

Day 17 (02-07-10)

Progress!

Three days in a row!

Took this one this morning. Although you can’t see the whole sky – the reason I took this one was – that everywhere else it was cloudy and gray, but right in front of me was this nice blue patch of sky.

Haven’t seen BLUE sky in a couple of weeks – so it was a nice change!

Day 16 (02-06-10)

As you might have guessed – this encounter didn’t end well.

The cat on the right is ours. The cat on the left is a visitor. When I took this shot – they were making those crazy sounds tom cats make.

Seconds later – our cat was chasing the stranger across the pasture.

BTW – Don’t worry – they’re both okay!

Day 15 (2-5-10)

Waiting in line for the buffet….

Okay, not really. There are no birds in the house.

This has gotten to be our nightly routine. I feed our horse and Pye and the other cat (who you can sort of see in the picture) hang around while I stand there.

Usually, it is just Pye who climbs up on the fence, but on this evening – Bob did too.

It was just about dark – the camera phone doesn’t have a flash – AND there was kind of a misty rain going on — so despite the grainy look I am rather surprised this photo actually turned out at all!

Day 14 (01-29-10)

Photo took TODAY and photo posted TODAY! Hooray!

Still having trouble finding  things that look interesting this week. Or maybe I’m just not quite in the mood to be artistic.

I noticed this creek was up from the rain we had the other day and since there were no cars behind me – decided I would take a picture of it.

The water is normally quite clear – and in the summer – on occasion – you will see an egret/heron looking for fish in it.

Day 13 (01-28-10)

This is one of those weeks where it has been really hard to find stuff that I actually wanted to take a photo of.

I finally found this tree over at one my clients. She has a very tall deck and when you stand on it – you can look down and see what both of her dogs are up to, so while they were doing their ‘thing’ I stood up there looking out at her backyard.

This tree caught my eye because it is so much taller than all the other trees she has.  The fact that I am up higher – really makes it look big!

Day 12 (01-26-10)

So I’m wondering….should I start over? Keep going? Maybe rename the blog???

I think the word “sporadic” may apply here. Oy!

I don’t even have a good excuse this time – I just haven’t been remembering to take the photos.

Anywhoo…moving forward I guess…

Was back in Atlanta on Tuesday. Lots of traffic and it was hard to get a shot, so I snapped this one while waiting for the light to change.

The buildings are somehow part of Piedmont Hospital.  It appears from the names on them – that the money to build them must have been given by the Woodruff family.

If you don’t know who they are — they are the ones who started Coca Cola! They are quite the philanthropists and you see their name on a lot of the hospital stuff and also the Woodruff Art Center.

This, of course, makes me wonder — what would it be like to have so much money that you could just give it away? I bet it is a NICE feeling, but I bet there is a lot of responsibility that comes with that too. Still…even if it IS a burden – I would love to give it a try!

Day 11 (01-23-10)

Okay – so this is the only photo I got yesterday. The wind was blowing and I tried to take a picture of some leaves while I was waiting for my client’s dog to finish his business (same place the golf course photo was taken).

It didn’t turn out (obviously), so I planned to take another photo later on, but it just didn’t happen.

Oh, well…at least…I am back on track… :-O

Day 10 (01-22-10)

Look! I actually took a photo this morning! Back on track! (Okay, this is day 10 and today is the 22nd, but I got the photo took on the same day I am posting it!)

It is possible you have seen this view before – I either took another shot of this view and didn’t use it or if you’re bored and want to look back through the archives – you may find a similar scene there.

This is a shot taken from one of my client’s back yards. He lives right on the golf course and today as I was standing outside waiting on his dog to finish his ‘business’ – I saw the fog in the distance and thought it would make a nice shot.

Didn’t see anyone out playing golf – guess they were probably at the club house having breakfast before hitting the…green? More like brown at the moment!

Day 9 (01-18-10)

Told you I was trying to take pictures despite everything that has been going on.

Got this one on Monday night. This is our local Food Lion grocery store. At the time I there – it was pretty much empty, just a few people wandering around.

I took this shot to show how vacant it felt. Kind of reminded me of one of those movies where some horrible music is playing on the radio and the main character runs into someone they know or wishes that the don’t know…

Not sure if I was thinking a comedy or maybe more of a spy thriller at the time. Just a very odd feeling to be pushing a shopping cart around in an almost empty store.
