This photo and the next eight are from our front yard, as spring takes hold.

Our favorite tree, this majestic oak is in a vacant lot across the street.

2006-04-23T14:44:00.000-04:00

The big oak in the background gives us shade and a beautiful view from our front window. If someone ever builds on that lot, though, the massive oak will fall.

This time of year in Atlanta, the precise temperature doesn't much matter. It's perfect almost every day.

2006-04-23T14:37:00.000-04:00

A lot of wrens visit here.

Hardly Peterson's Guide quality, but one of my favorite birds, a red-headed woodpecker, in Grant Park. I didn't see any hawks today, but plenty live there.

I got to visit the amazing Georgia Aquarium on Saturday. Here are some photos I took there. When I was a kid, jelly fish often stung the hell out of me. But these make a cool space-like picture.

2005-11-19T22:41:00.000-05:00

Sea nettles are related to the jelly fish.

2005-11-19T22:40:00.000-05:00

I say, this chap is called a look down.

2005-11-19T22:39:00.000-05:00

What's that weird creature pointing the little box at me?

2005-11-19T22:36:00.001-05:00

He's not sad, that's just how he looks.

2005-11-19T22:36:00.000-05:00

Whale shark, the world's biggest fish. Remember, whales are mammals, not fish.

2005-11-19T22:35:00.000-05:00

Pickin 'n grinnin -- the guitar fish.

2005-11-19T22:34:00.000-05:00

One of the 20-foot-long whale sharks, which will grow to at least double that size. It eats krill, not the little fish near its mouth.

2005-11-19T22:32:00.000-05:00

Afrrican penguin. I'm not sure what the thing on its right wing is.

2005-11-19T22:30:00.000-05:00

A weedy sea needle. They use the kelp as camoflauge.

2005-11-19T22:28:00.000-05:00

2005-11-19T22:27:00.000-05:00

He'll eat you. These are piranhas.

One big grouper and his posse.

2005-11-19T22:24:00.000-05:00

This dude is about five feet long, and if he weren't in the Georgia Aquarium he'd be in the Amazon.

Beluga whales do underwater gymnastics.

2005-11-19T22:21:00.000-05:00

A hundred-plus years and no haircut.

2005-11-13T17:56:00.000-05:00

Why the long face?

2005-11-13T17:55:00.000-05:00

I'm faaaaalling! Not really.

2005-11-13T17:54:00.001-05:00

Our skyline can beat up your skyline.

2005-11-13T17:54:00.000-05:00

Oakland Cemetery is a city of statues.

2005-11-13T17:53:00.000-05:00

Nice posture.

2005-11-13T17:52:00.000-05:00

Boss, da plane!

2005-11-13T17:51:00.000-05:00

Hey, bud, let's meditate.

2005-11-13T17:50:00.000-05:00

They don't care if the trains run on time.
