  • 11-06-11 Entrance to the condo building I call home for the past 30 years - it was a one beer walk to the bars when I was 25 years old! Pretty cool as there are 24 units that face an open air courtyard. We have an elevator and secured underground parking. No getting wet for me during torrential downpours!

    11-03-13 The Gallery on P'tree: my neighbor of 7+ yrs. For the first 22 yrs in my urban condo I was graced with gorgeous trees & abundant wild life in the tree-filled ravine behind our building. Now my main room picture window looks directly into The Gallery's parking deck.

  • 11-13-12 The Cathedral of St. Philip is across Peachtree street from my condo. This is the view traveling north on Peachtree where the Cathedral makes a statement as the road curves to the right.

  • 02-23-14 The late afternoon sunlight cast over the ivy-covered brick home caught my attention while walking in Buckhead. In mere weeks, this view will be blocked by vibrant foliage.

  • 12-27-12 A cool little bungaloo in Buckhead two blocks off P'tree. It can be a bit eery when walking by at dusk, especially when the viscious sounding dogs are at the gate.
