So Beth in NYC came for a visit this past weekend. She'd wanted a break from "the big city" and, so, came to Atlanta.
; )
This is closer to "city-living" than I've ever known, so her idea made me chuckle, just a little. I'd last about five minutes living in Manhattan. Anyway, I was happy to show her a couple favorite pieces of home...

We visited Arabia Mountain and checked in with the Elf Orpine... still not blooming! I haven't decided what those little white flowers are, yet. Maybe Sandwort? |

We checked in with the sunset... gorgeous! |

We checked in with each other... we're all doing okay! |

We wandered around Oakland Cemetery...
(where Beth had an unfortunate run-in with fire ants!) |

and I got to observe a real photographer at work!

I checked in with Spring... on its way! |

We wandered downtown for rainy views of some very tall buildings...
(Beth, of course, was particularly bored by this part.) |

We took against-the-rules photos of a sand mandala at Emory... |

And finished up at a favorite burger joint! |
The weekend went too fast, but I was so glad to see her friendly face here.

It looks as though you had fun...
I think the fire ants need more explaining.
Ha! I wondered if you took a picture of me lying on the ground!
I miss you guys already and think I need another visit. ;-)
Woha - isn't Atlanta a pretty big place?
Ouch on the fire ant bites. Been there. Ouch!
Fire Ants are becoming a sort of Southern ritual. Laura got her first bites a few weeks ago in a different cemetery across town. So it only seemed fair to give them a taste of Beth too. - Jay
Being bitten by fire ants doesn't sound like my idea of a good time but I'll never know for sure until I've experienced them first hand. Love the sunset view!
I enjoyed reading tthis
