Atlanta
This past weekend we took another excursion from our temporary home in Montgomery, Alabama. This one was nice because it meant I go to see Anna and my mother again. I know it was only three weeks of separation, but it felt like forever!
I arrived on Friday night, but we started Saturday off in the Botanical Gardens hanging out with the frogs... :-)
There were also many pretty flowers. Flowers are always fun because they are so photogenic.
There were many exquisite violet flowers there as well... (my favorite was the one with golden strands at the top)
There were also these wild sculptures throughout the gardens. I thought this one was particularly interesting.
Here's a self portrait inside the skull.
After the botanical gardens, we headed over to the natural history museum. These are sculptures from the Rome exhibit.
The next morning, we continued our cultural exploration of Atlanta. As we walked to the art museum, we ran into (or rather they rode by) a huge motorcycle caravan.
These are inside the museum. I like how art museums are often a work of art themselves. This one was no exception.
These two beautiful women accompanied me on the tour, and this is us headed back to the hotel to depart. It was another outstanding weekend.
So, until the next adventure...

Flowers and frogs....subjects that sit still for you! The art of architecture is indeed more than just a worthy backround. Loved the orchids. Also loved the self portrait inside the skull.
Thanks again!
