A Pleasant Surprise

Look what I found...

Recently, my mom purchased some flowers from Home Depot and put them up in the front yard. Shortly after two robins decided to create their new home and start a family in the basket of flowers. Every time my mom takes the plant down to water it they go insane.

If you look closely you can see the mother or father's head poking out

The eggs have recently hatched but I haven't taken a picture of the babies yet.

Atlanta the Strange

When people typically think of Atlanta they tend to think of a big urban city, but after aimlessly driving around with my boyfriend I've discovered some of Atlanta's hidden oddities.

Most of these pictures are of Old Atlanta Prison Farm and some unknown place.

The Atlanta Prison Farm is 290 acres. It was deserted and had been used as a police training ground, a burial ground for the zoo, and a landfill, among other things.
The 700 bed prison farm is located within Northeast Atlanta. The inmates at this facility served sentences for ordinance and traffic offenses and were routinely assigned to farming, livestock, cannery and dairy operation details. -http://www.atlantaga.gov/government/corrections/doc_history.aspx

Here are a few from old Atlanta Prison Farm (click for bigger pic):



I have no clue what the last two pics are of. I know it is somewhere in the Lakewood area of Georgia.
