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!
