Beltline Trail

I took this photo last Saturday afternoon after Jane and I had walked along the Atlanta Eastside Beltline Trail from the Krog/Irwin Street intersection. This is where the paved section of the beltline starts at this time, and it heads north. The photograph shows Jane on the bridge over Ponce de Leon Avenue and this is where we decided to turn around.

Patiently Waiting for their owners

The band is at a favorite watering hole waiting for the St Patrick’s Day parade in Atlanta to commence. Drinks all around except for these instruments.

St Patrick's Day Gig

Our band performed in the St Patrick's day parade in midtown Atlanta last Saturday. Katherine is getting into the swing of things, although the feathers were only temporary.

Shivering Flute Player

This just past Saturday at noon our band played at the grand opening of the new Springbrook Park and it was quite chilly. Jenny turns up not really suitably dressed for the occasion and is obviously shivering when I took this photo. She did get something to cover her arms later, so her situation improved.

I thought I’d show this picture as an example of why I really need to remember to bring my wide angle lens hood to these events, particularly when it’s a sunny day. I think it’s obvious what’s going on here where this ultra wide angle lens captures some of the suns rays even though I’m not directly facing into the source. The internal reflections weren’t bad enough for me to not include this picture in my photo set, but I did make sure that I had the sun behind me for the rest of my photos on the day.

Nooksack Falls

Just off the Mt Baker Rd in the Northern Cascades to the East of Bellingham.

Mary and Beth

At America's Mart with the Seed and Feed Marching Abominable Band.

Winter Garden

Wandering around the area of Mason Mill Park yesterday. This place should be blooming in another couple of months, but at the moment the garden is a little bleak looking.
