A storm came through overnight, rainy and windy enough to wake me up. Yawn. So, enough, we thought; let’s get on the road. (Truth: trip was planned.) The storm festooned this north Georgia rest area with many tree leaflets, and this rock no longer carries its message.
In contrast, crossing the Ohio River, we saw plenty of signage. Yup, north on I-75, that was us—and we’ll motor more tomorrow to the usual location near the northern end of this interstate.

What is the statement of the day based on this image, I was thinking a few minutes ago. Hmm.
A bee crawls through a milkweed quite without effort? Too simplistic.
Orange and green are my new favorite color pairing? Yeesh, who would believe that.
Garden life is captivating? I’ll take that.

I feel like Atlanta has slammed into summer, with robust heat and humidity mantling the city and slowing me down. This photo reminds me of the cool of the beach at Provincetown, on Cape Cod, two weeks ago.

This critter got trapped inside our house. I’m thinking it’s some kinda green lacewing. And, yeah, this shot’s outta focus.

Our neighborhood was a mecca today; it hosted Porchfest (music), with plenty of amps in use. This meant cars cruising for at least a three-mile radius looking for parking places in already choked streets–with the center of festing about two blocks from us.
We had to do an errand, so we got to “enjoy” all this congestion (cough cough). The 2.3 miles each way took almost an hour on a hot, muggy afternoon. Glad we had AC!

We saw this sign when we were up north a few days back, and I just had to include it here. Danger lurks above in northern winters, ya’know.

As I did several months ago, JCB recently received a juror summons. He was in group 3, so we thought he might have to appear, and was to call in last night to find out if he had to show up downtown today. No groups were called, he found out, and he got to sleep in.
I was gonna try something about “barking up the wrong tree,” but…pfft, I couldn’t make it sing, rock, or rumble in any pleasant way.

I do enjoy some of the dramatic creations of the “Portrait / stage light” settings (although others are dreck).

I came back from being at Book Club, a short stroll well after dark set in, and…redolent. That’s the word. Our front steps were awash in the scent of gardenias. Here’s a night shot, which definitely needed white balancing to look correct.
