Garage Sale Treasure

Wonder what you might find at a garage sale in my neck of the woods?

Well, other than Bruce Lee, there was a selection of treasures: A random car door, stacks of girlie pictures, two model train sets (in original boxes) and lots of toy cars. There were 3 bins full of stuffed Christmas Santas.

I didn't expect to find weapons for neighbors with supernatural powers. Perhaps I should get out more...

Miniature Donkeys

If you head West out of Marietta on the Dallas Highway you might see this delightful herd of miniature donkeys passing the hours in the sun.


A little wary of the intruder
Dallas Hwy, West of Marietta


Still not sure


Acting like everything's ok


Parents are still on the alert


Children may be snoozing


Or snorting some dust 


Let's all enjoy the dust!


And the good eats!


Life is good. Yes, life is so good!

Wind Toys

Repurposed hub caps spin gaily in the wind.

Wooden whirligigs shaped to look like ducks decorate a gate.

As Seen On a Rural Road

A hot sun baking the Georgia clay, the vibrant green of pines, the smell of dirt and growing things... nobody but you and God on this stretch of old, unpaved rural road...


Sweetapple

It feels peaceful and untouched out here... like going back in time...


"Smile for the Camera" sign

Until you have that feeling that someone is watching...  and it's not God...

Mobile Message

As seen in passing...

Wonder what it says...


Canton Hwy at Hwy 92, Woodstock


Wonder what was behind the truck that I didn't notice at the time I took the picture...

Grave site at Marietta Cemetery

Marietta Cemetery

While you're visiting the Confederate Cemetery just take a few steps up the hill and you'll be visiting the Marietta Cemetery. There are some famous graves and interesting things to see... as well as some untold stories...
