photo friday: sand dollars
You have to watch where you step, because the beach at Jekyll is littered with these guys. I’m never sure if I should toss them back into the ocean or leave them where they are …
hike inn.
Chloe and I went on an adventure … We hiked the five miles up to the Hike Inn at Amicalola Falls State Park! Chloe did great! I was amazed at how well she handled it. I had been to the Hike Inn before and knew that there were some hills that would cause me to
off trail (don’t worry).
Chloe and I headed out early (early for her … but I had been up for hours already) and managed to get to the Aware lot while it was still mostly empty. A quick hike up to the top of the mountain…where I found *another* tennis ball for the boy. We then went off-trail down
photo friday: exploratorium
The girls (or was it only Camille??) and I visited the Exploratorium decades ago. It was the most amazing place — hands on, interesting, encouraged the kids to explore the world and learn how to make connections. While we did not visit on our latest trip to SF, I have high hopes that its new
off-trail.
Phelix and I have been hiking regularly at Arabia for two years now. At first, we took the same trail every single time. After a year or so, I decided enough was enough, and we branched out and learned a new trail. Six months later, I finally decided that we would learn *all* the trails.

Always a fun place to stop and have a bite to eat or grab a cup of coffee!
hot tea hike with ranger robby.
Chloe did not have a good night’s sleep. Her mouth and face hurts from her new braces. At first, she was unwilling to get up early for a hike. But then she rallied. And we headed out … and Phelix was so unhappy. I feel so guilty that I’m taking him out for a hike
photo friday: china beach
Beach. The beach. Any beach. It has been far too long. I wish I lived as close to the beach as my sister does!!
spring on the mountain – 5 feb 2017
Saturday I was in pain from having pushed myself too hard at the gym — pulled something in my right arm. But on Sunday? Time to hit the mountain. Phelix and I tried a new-to-us section of trail; he likes new trails, but when he gets close to his trail, he *runs*. We ran into
photo friday: 1wtc
Our final tourist attraction while in NYC – One World Trade Center. Camille is not a fan of heights, but agreed to go with me anyway …
walk in the woods.
It’s been too long. FAR too long. But today the to do list was blissfully short. The girl was in a good mood. The weather was perfect (41 and sunny). My knee didn’t hurt. So off we went. Chloe, Phelix, and I. I forced them into a small detour; I am quite ignorant of the
wilburn farm trail – 23 nov 2016
Work is a bit slow at the moment due to the holiday, so I took the time to try a new hike, the Wilburn Farm Trail. As usal, we saw no one the whole time we were out on the trail, which wound up a hill and then into the farm and past a little
cascade trail – 11 nov 2016
After a brisk and informative walk with Ranger Robby, I drove over to the Cascade Trail to try out the “Roll Project” in black and white. I love the shallow depth of field on many of these, but I think I may have overdone it.
arabia mountain – 10 nov 2016
Phelix and I went off to our happy place again today. This time we went “off trail” a bit more that usual in order to try to get a better feel for how everything fits together.
vaughter’s farm – 4 nov 2016
Homework for my Composition class at the Showcase School this week is to “take a roll” of photos. So no deleting. I gave myself one small break … If the pup pulled while I was taking a photo (as he often does), I could delete it. I tried hard to choose interesting subjects and take
photo friday: the tonys
Camille and I just happened to be in NYC on Tonys Sunday, so we stopped by the Beacon Theater to see what all the fuss is about….
around atlanta: chihuly nights
Back in August, I stopped in at the Atlanta Botanical Garden to renew our family membership so I would be all set to buy tickets for Chihuly in the Garden. First, we put off going due to the heat. Then we couldn’t find the time with Camille’s play. And then it got to the last
photo friday: grand central station
Who doesn’t love Grand Central? Even when we are not headed off on a train, we make a point of stopping in the station for the architecture, the vibe, the food, and the stores!
photo friday: times square
Overcrowded, crazy. Some people avoid it altogether. I hate crowds too, but I always get a thrill out of seeing all the lights and the energy.
