Grant Park Stroll

elephant

A few weeks back, we decided to take the boys out on a Sunday afternoon and enjoy the day. Sam was very excited to see the pregnant elephant, and we were surprised to see a new baby warthog – ugly but cute – and spent quite a bit of time ‘playing the trees’ at the new interactive art installation in the Park. Please take a look at our photos here. 

I think this photo of Sam is super-cute and wanted to share it here.

Orange Sky

Atlanta Sky #2
I’ve honestly never seen a sky this color. Just after a big line of storms blew through on Sunday evening, the setting sun (already below the horizon) began to throw off the most interesting orange cast in the low clouds. I took advantage of the graduated neutral density filter I just bought for my trip to Aspen to handle the large dynamic range between sky and foreground. I like the result. Crazy.
