If you live in the north Atlanta are or get there on occasion it would be worthwhile to stop by Scottsdale Farms in Milton. A Garden and landscape center that is a Disneyland for those with green thumbs and it’s also a blast just to walk around the park like setting. Cafe, petting zoo, playground. 👍

Soon the storm clouds in the afternoon will give way to cool breezes, apple pies and blazes of red orange and yellow on the trees that surround the wineries of north Georgia! I can’t wait!

It was an overcast day in NYC but still a good opportunity to get some city scapes. #queensborobridge #queens #kingofqueens #nyc #newyorkcity #newyork #cityscapes #hardscapes #landscapes #landscapephotography

Maybe we get more pencils and dolls for the children and fewer 400 million $ planes for the petulant ignoramus who currently occupies the office of POTUS.

A letter from one grifter on behalf of another is not sufficient for bypassing the Emoluments Clause.

It’s Hot Rod season in the mountains. Car meets and good eats at various little towns across the North Georgia Mountains in little towns like Ellijay, Blue Ridge, Blairsville just to name a few. #ellijaygeorgia #ellijayga #ellijay #blueridgega #blueridgemountains #blairsvillega #blairsvillegeorgia

What happened to “kill all fascists” that you have on your page? That’s not “divisive shit”? 😂😂😂😂 Maybe come down off your high horse.

Spring doing spring things! Eastern Redbud Trees are my favorite tree we have here on our little slice of heaven. These blooms only last for the spring though. 😢
