Asheville trail

Took this picture on my last trip to Asheville in October when I went to see Leonard Cohen. This trail is one of Susannah's favorites so we took her dog. Saw this couple right away who had climbed out on the limb. Looks idyllic. They asked us to come join them but we declined. The water is so clear there so different from the water here in Athens.

Dawgs

I liked this reflection. Saw this walking to my car after work on what could have been the day before a game day, I don't remember. I saw the reflection first and then after I passed a wall I saw the car. I wish I was able to take pictures of all the things that strike me during the day. Today it was two woodpeckers on a tree outside my bedroom window. Yesterday a hawk sitting on a gravestone. I don't always think to pull out my iPhone because I just get caught up in the moment.

More Bonaventure

Another shot, I believe I took this one in December last year. I got to go to the cemetery twice last fall. I like the forlorn look and posture of the woman and the way the trees form a frame around the story in the middle. The palm fronds add a nice touch too. I don't think it is possible to take a bad picture there.

Bonaventure Cemetery

The most amazing cemetery in the world, where Johnny Mercer is buried, is in Savannah, Georgia. I went there last year for a conference and so this picture was taken last November. I don't know if it was the overcast afternoon, the Spanish moss, the statues, but the place has this kind of cool and spooky vibe. It's also just incredibly beautiful. Some graves are rundown and others are so new looking they seem out of place. This is a place to behold.

Happy Halloween!

These are some decorations I have on the tree outside my house. I decided to hang these metal buckets with black cats and orange jack 0 lanterns and place large Christmas lights in them. The effect isn't spooky but more stylized I guess. A 1940s looking Halloween maybe, which I have to say I much prefer.

Folk 4 Life

Saw this on a door in the parking lot at the Auburn Avenue Research Library in Atlanta. We were there doing Home Movie Day and Renna pointed this image out to me. I like to think it means folk music for life. Or maybe just people for life. Whatever it means it made an impact.

Walking up the hill to work

Saw this doing my usually hike up the hill to work. Like the wet that remained around the leaf. The green flecks on the leaf look like rubbings from asphalt below the leaf. It was a welcome surprise when I was looking down that morning asking myself for the gazillionth time why I chose to walk up that fucking hill every morning. This is maybe one reason why.
