Late Summer Sky

A Convenient Store

Hosea Williams Drive, Atlanta

Marimba

A new experience for me - a recording session during which I played not only saxophone, but marimba.

Hat and Watering Can

My late mom was an avid gardener; her favorite gardening hat and watering can are still on the shelf where she left them six years ago.

Stone Mountain Carving

A cellphone picture of the huge carving of Confederate leaders on Stone Mountain, near Atlanta, taken from the skylift.

Muzak

In a local Atlanta pizza joint, an old sign from the company which for years provided innocuous background music to the commercial world.

No picture from September 24 - sorry.

Watershed Mural

I live just a few feet from the Eastern Subcontinental Divide, the ridge that runs along the eastern part of the United States. On the east side of the Divide, water drains into the Atlantic Ocean; on the west side, it flows to the Gulf of Mexico. Just a couple of blocks from my house, there is a mural celebrating the Divide.

Kilroy Was Here

I usually don't post family pictures here, but I couldn't resist my great nephew Lucas in a perfect "Kilroy" pose.

No picture from September 21.

Airplane

...coming in for a landing over the highway. Hartsfeld-Jackson Airport, Atlanta.

State Capitol Abstract

Taken from a moving car, Atlanta.

Tunnel

...under Mobile Bay, Alabama.

Dew Drop Inn

The remnants of one of the country's great R & B clubs, on LaSalle Street in New Orleans. From the 1940's to the 1970's, everybody who was anybody played here.

McKeown's Books

...and Difficult Music, on Tchoupitoulas Street in New Orleans. My favorite spot in the store is the "Difficult Music Cabinet," which is so labeled. I bought a difficult CD of improvisations by New Orleans cellist Helen Gillet, with saxophonist Tim Green and percussionist Doug Garrison.

Blue, Green and Red

Chartres Street, New Orleans

Pelicans

Gulf of Mexico, near Biloxi, Mississippi.

Mobile Bridge

General W.K. Wilson Jr. Bridge, north of Mobile, Alabama, crossing the Mobile-Tensaw River delta. I've thought that this was a cool bridge for years.

Red

Edgewood Shopping Center, Atlanta

My Country's Flag

Young Rock Band

...at the Reynoldstown Wheelbarrow Festival, Atlanta. They can rock, too.

Coan Park Xylophones

Atlanta's Coan Park has a bunch of metal and wooden xylophones, of all sizes, for kids to play. Cool idea. (Thanks to Sandy for the picture suggestion.)

1950's Jazz Book

A 1958 British jazz book with an amusingly "moldy fig" slant - I picked it up for two bucks. I like the cover design.

Tiny Flowers

DeKalb Avenue, Atlanta

Rainy Evening

Finished Product

...of one of the LaFrance Street Living Walls graffiti artists. You can see this piece in progress here - it's to the right, behind the scaffolding.

Habit Made Me Do This

A strange message, found in the woods of Brownwood Park in Atlanta.

Sidewalk Statement

Candler Park, Atlanta

No pictures from September 2 & 3; sorry.
