I've been giving some thought to how our album of this year's Summer travels might look.And mostly that's all I've been doing.Apart from the title page. I have, however, finished the travel journal. The bulk of it was done while we were away.When you're staying with family and friends, it's fairly easy to write up your day after dinner. It's … Continue reading Holiday Journal

I like to capture the differences when travelling.You know, the things that you just wouldn't see "at home". I'm guessing that Park Peace Officers must be like park rangers. Really?Some aspects of the right to bear arms leaves me baffled. Mail boxes? How come they're not like the ones we grew up seeing in films? Historical markers? Yes, the UK has those.Funny … Continue reading Photographing the Differences

I love me a good zoo.A zoo where it's obvious to the visitor that the welfare of all animals is paramount.Atlanta Zoo is one such establishment.I also love me a big lens.
Should you find yourself with time to spareduring a visit to Atlanta,I recommend a Peachtree Trolleybus tour.It takes around 90 minutes and has to be the easiest way to cover a lot of ground. {And it stops and starts right near to Johnny Rockets} Georgia State Capitol building.The dome is covered in gold leaf. Home of Dr. Martin Luther … Continue reading Atlanta by Trolleybus
I'm not on of those bloggerswho write about food.There would be an awful lot of, "it was delicious/horrible" if I did.However, when we were in Atlantawe discovered, purely by chance,a classic American Diner.Ladies and gentlemen {drum roll}, I give you ... Johnny Rockets. There were mini jukeboxes on every table.And the waitress gave us a nickel.After a quick discussion, … Continue reading Johnny Rockets
One of the great things about whereour friends live in Georgia and Sib lives in Texas, is that each residential area hasa Community Pool. Marietta, Ga.Katy, Tx. Some have diving boards. Some have shaded seating where a Mum can watch and read.All are at warm bath temperature. And the umbrellas are big.Everything really is bigger in Texas.Swimming pools, yes or no?One … Continue reading Pool Party
