New York City’s iconic skyline is worth a view every time I fly in. This time we went both in the morning, and at sunset. It was worth it to see the different gradients of color and light clothe the city.
Our small group friends Thomas and Noke put on an amazing fireworks show at their home this year. I brought my camera and caught a few of the explosions. I hope Jeremy and I can have a similar tradition once we have a larger home in the future! It sure was fun!
Chihuly in the Garden is back in Atlanta. I remember my first year in college, at Georgia State University, when Chihuly in the Garden first came to Atlanta. It was a good experience to see such synthetic shapes mix in with the natural elements of the garden. I was excited when they announced that Chihuly had chosen to do new installations this year and went with my parents. :) Â We took lots of photos!
This weekend we spent the entirety of Saturday in North Georgia. Between rainshowers we hiked up the incline and then the subsequent 500 steps. It was good to get some exercise as life changes lately have cost me my usual exercise time. Â The showers kept the temperature down and we got to enjoy some nice cloud cover and excellent water throughput on the falls. Â Check out all the photos!
The local population of brown-headed nuthatches has tripled since we started feeding them. Â I have determined this because there used to be two and now there are six. Super scientific. Anywhoo, they hung out around our deck today and I was able to get a few good shots.
