Last week I decided to meet a friend for lunch out at a trendy little cafe in a hip little town. We also checked out a funky folk art gallery. I decided to take my camera along for the ride to show you why I love where I live. If you are in Atlanta, check out Matilda’s for a great selection of artwork.
Love this rooster!
This neat little art gallery has weekend concerts out back. Check out the stage area…
They even have a funky doghouse out back…
This is what you see on the way out…
So, this is where the BAD drive-by shots come in…
I love, love, love where I live and was bound and determined to show it off in all its glory. We are amongst some very sophisticated homes, lots of farms, and some unbelievably charming homes that have been here forever.
Just remember that I had good intentions.
Great shot here… Doesn’t it make you want to live here?
I was trying to get the white goats…hmmm….
Ahhh…bad shot, but you get the beauty, right?
Now, this is an adorably charming produce market that I love to stalk.
This is a great drive-by…everyone should see the top of my window…
Not too shabby while the van was moving… Love all of the farm land.
I would love to take a better shot of this in black and white on a rainy morning. This old shed is one of my favorite sights around here.
This next shot I was really hoping to get, but NOOOOO. The house is just so darn cute! It is pale green with a red door. For some reason, they added the screen door and now you can’t see the pretty red door, but I guess with my drive-by picture taking ability, you couldn’t see it anyway. It has the cutest front porch and is surrounded by big oak trees. Maybe I will get back out and sneak some more shots of it one day.
Here is another fabulous corner place that we all love…oh wait, I guess you can’t see it either.
Ahhh…here we go—The local plant nursery. The pictures, of course, do not do it justice. It is beaming with color right now!
And here is the produce stand on the side of the nursery. Love the old barn behind it.
This old house is used as storage for our church. I have been inside and would LOVE to have some decorating playtime in there.
This is our new church family life center. One of my FAVORITE places to hang out.
A very stately home in the next neighborhood… It could not escape the bad drive-by with the massive pile of mulch on the side.
And the best of all…my street ON TRASH DAY. I thought that would top off my post on bad drive-bys.
Thanks for cruising along with me!
I am geared up with many more posts to come. Hope you like my new blog design.
Great things are going on in my life right now, and I surely hope things are going well for you, too!
