Hiatus

Sorry, due to work contraints, resposibilities and other things going on right now, I must put this blog hiatus. Hopefully I will be able to resurrect it but for now I must put it hold. Thanks to those of you (the few and the proud) that took the time to view my pics and leave comments.

Crawfish Seafood Shack

I was introduced to a new seafood place today - it is a really small place that you would miss if you blinked - the Crawfish Seafood Shack. I checked out the rating on-line and there was nothing but positive reviews so we went.

As I said, it is small - only 3 tables. You go to the counter, order crawfish, or shrimp or 3 different kinds of fish (or a combination of these) and 2 sides - all for less than $7. They take the fresh seafood out of the front case, shell and de-vein (if ordering shrimp) and cook it fresh to order.

Whoa nelly - is it good! I'm so glad that I found this place - I know I will be going here a lot!

Squirrel

Okay - so this is not an Atlanta picture by any means but it was taken in an Atlanta neighborhood. The south has lots and lots of squirrels - I love them. I think they are really cute (although some people consider them quite a pest).

I got a glimpse of this little guy watching me from behind the tree.

The new camera is here! The new camera is here !

Whoo hoo - I have had it for about a week now but haven't had time to play with it and get use to the new features before going out for a photo shoot.

So...I took it down to Phipps Plaza today and saw these cute kids giving a concert. They were actually quite good. I enjoyed watching this one little girl on the end. There were certian times when a song was played that she obviously hadn't learned yet, so she would sit down - she would pull her beautiful long flowing green velvet dress up to show her bright pink tennis shoes underneath. As soon as the show was over, that dress came off - she had on a pink and white shirt and pink shorts under the dress - I guess pink must be her "signature color" - too cute!

New Camera - On the Way

My new camera has been ordered - has more than twice the zoom abilities as my last one - hopefully it will be here in 3 or 4 days.

** LOST CAMERA **

FYI:

Have to take a small break - my beloved camera has been lost :-(

And today I took some of my best pictures yet. I hope whoever got my camera enjoys them.

High Museum - Terra Cotta Army

The High Museum of Art currently has China's Terracotta Army exhibit. It is so fascinating. I know, without a doubt, that I will never, ever get to China to see the site in real life. I wanted to be an archaeologist when I was younger but decided I could make a better living if I chose a business major (while that part is true, part of me wonders what it would be like to have studied my first love).

It was so amazing to see these life size figures in person - the detail is just incredible - they each have their own personality, different hairstyles, different clothing - different heights, body build up, etc. It is just hard for me to comprehend that these were made by hand, that they have been around before Jesus was even born - wow ! It is hard to really capture that in my mind.

I am so glad I went to this exhibit. Sadly, if you haven't gone yet, you probably won't have a chance to - the last day is Sunday and then it moves on to another lucky city's museum.
