a jolly good morning

I woke up early and decided to go on a walk while most people were sleeping in for the holiday today. With no particular destination in mind, I picked a direction and just kept walking. First through the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), where I stumbled on some cool art. After walking in Bolton Hill I decided to head to Druid Hill Park. It was a refreshing and peaceful walk, and I absolutely enjoyed the change in scenery over the 4 mile walk.

Harbor East Waterfront

Very calming being by the water this morning. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the construction on the waterfront was complete, and the walkway was open for all to enjoy. Happy Sunday, everyone!

Ritz-Carlton luxury homes – must be nice living there

Scene in Atlanta

I was in Atlanta GA, my first trip there, for a few days this past week for a work-related conference. I spent one evening strolling through the beautiful Centennial Olympic Park. Here are a couple of pictures that I took.

Hmm…”the Sex Issue”

I decided to take a casual stroll around my neighborhood this evening to take in the mild temperature and look for something to photograph before another winter storm sets in tomorrow. After overcoming icy, slippery sidewalks, heaps of snow and deep puddles I decided to stop by the intersection of W.Read St. & Park Ave and browse through what the “City Paper” had to say. Unbeknownst to me, it was “The Sex Issue,” how timely huh? Hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day (whether you’re with someone or not), and remember the real challenge is to act lovingly and generously every single day, and not just on V-day.
