Weekly Winners

Yesterday, Toby, Ed and I went to the Reindog Parade at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. (Fox doesn’t like this sort of event, so he stayed home.) Basically, it’s an excuse to dress up your dog (and, sometimes, yourself) and take your dog to the Gardens, the only day they’re allowed.

Ed has wanted to go to Cloudland Canyon State Park forever. Actually, we went last year, but for reasons I can’t remember, we weren’t able to really hike.
The park is about three hours from our house, so I haven’t been much inclined to go. However, my parents went last weekend and reported it was GORGEOUS. [...]

In addition to not blogging much (at all), I’ve not been taking many photos. Last Saturday, however, I was suddenly all sorts of inspired at the Atlanta Botanical Garden.
When I finally got around to uploading them today, I realized that apart from one photo I uploaded to Flickr when Toby passed his Canine Good Citizen [...]

Between the craziness of December (which has nothing to do with the holidays for me), my company’s annual conference in January, the dreariness of the winter landscape and a good old-fashioned case of the Winter Blues/depression, the camera’s barely gotten any use in months.
But, as I discovered last Sunday, spring is definitely coming, and, partially [...]

Between my having vertigo (feeling better, but still can’t move around too much and especially not too fast), Thanksgiving, and other photo-related projects, I didn’t take many photos at ALL!
I took 13 total shots for the week, all early Thursday evening. I didn’t take ANY photos at Thanksgiving dinner (was feeling particularly dizzy), but [...]

Ed and I went to Zoo Atlanta yesterday with some friends. It was a COLD day (high temperature in the 40s), and a lot of the animals weren’t out when we got there. But slowly but surely many of them emerged.

The focus on this is a little… um… soft. Between my having vertigo and the [...]

I’ve missed the last two weeks of Weekly Winners. I’ve been too busy TAKING photos to POST photos. I’ve been working on a few projects, some of which I’ll be sharing on ye olde blogge in the next few days or weeks.
But I’m back on the Weekly Winners horse and glad to be here…
First, here’s [...]

I’ve had a tired week, combined with a side of “sick,” so photos have been fairly slim pickings. In fact, I realized that most of the photos centered around my wardrobe choices.
This is the freakishly comfortable bed I slept in last Saturday night after a full, fun day of bloggy talk at BlissDom ‘08. These [...]

This was a week of sunsets and moon shots.
Wednesday night’s sunset.

Thursday night’s sunset, taken from virtually the same spot.

This was Friday’s sunset, taken at a local shopping center.

The moon about 6:20 on Thursday night… This is the shot I was trying to post for Sky Watch Friday… when I ended up posting my drawing of [...]

I took the day off Friday, and Ed and I went to the Atlanta Botanical Garden where we have a membership. This is only our second visit.
I found this beauty before we entered the garden.

Same with this…

…and this.

Now we’re in the courtyard just inside the gardens.

In the garden proper now, we found this frog.

This is [...]
