Cinco de Mayhem

Too much fun! When my condo building (M) and P.C. got together for Cinco de Mayo, it was a kick.

Beltline in Spring

To get to Inman Park from my 'hood - Midtown - I walked on part of the Beltline. It was a intown hike that followed the route of a transportation project that proposes to reuse existing, abandoned railways to create a hiking/biking/living trolley loop around the city. I walked through flowers and ducked under trees, following the tracks (both train and hobo) behind the businesses I usually whiz by in my car. I waltzed into Inman Park within 45 minutes, at the end walking between people in their cars trying fruitlessly to find somewhere to park.

I hiked/photographed it last winter; this spring, it's awake...

Inman Park and Trees Atlanta

One of Atlanta's greatest intown neighborhoods - Inman Park - hosted its annual Arts Festival this past weekend. One of its fun traditions is a parade featuring neighborhood groups - high school bands, civic organizations, random guys with briefcases - marching and being silly.

Trees Atlanta is one of those groups. We covered ourselves with mud and danced in the streets to Christina Aguilera's "Dirrty". Silly fun. One thing I noticed - when you are clean, you try to stay clean. When you are dirty, anything goes.

(NOTE: This is a first; I'm actually in these photos because my amazing friend Sarah took the pictures. It's a violation of the precept of this site, but at least she was using MY camera...)
