Recommendations

I recently enjoyed two books and a movie enough to share them with you.

First, A Discovery of Witches.  I once stumbled into Diana Gabaldon's Outlander and loved it.  This reminded me of that but with a totally different premise.  I was totally transported. 

Next, the Informationist.  Think Jack Reacher, only in female form. 

And finally, the movie.  I pick all sorts of random movies to watch and many times they're nothing special.  But this was.  It was based on a real story of a man who threw his funeral party before he died and attended it.  Of course, where else could this happen but  in the South?  Robert Duvall.  Sissy Spacek.  Bill Murray.  Need I say more?

If you read or watch these, let me know what you think.

Springtime on Piedmont

Along Piedmont, in front of the Atlanta Botanical Gardens the road is lined with fruit trees.  I assume they're cherries.  At any rate, for at least 3 weeks I drive to work watching the buds swell, then open, then seeing the trees leaf out in that improbably bright green of new growth. 

One day, on the way home, I couldn't resist a sunroof snapshot - or a drive by shooting as I like to call it.
