Here are just a few that I slow down for when I walk by them. Love the chippendale railing and bench in front of this painted brick home.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoW7tGhj8lV9-Pq-YuKzfz_3cnvrqln3Ku4cbLEtkswb81Dtjyxh8kZ2icEUQdDcxT5bL8A66UZZ_0uuJWyHXIEcNCeuH_MxnUvaL5k0LVQ6VtAihnYzIRRKf2KpN_ra1Q9vQkeBy8UE8/s1600-h/atlanta+875+(2).jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356882094744833954" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoW7tGhj8lV9-Pq-YuKzfz_3cnvrqln3Ku4cbLEtkswb81Dtjyxh8kZ2icEUQdDcxT5bL8A66UZZ_0uuJWyHXIEcNCeuH_MxnUvaL5k0LVQ6VtAihnYzIRRKf2KpN_ra1Q9vQkeBy8UE8/s640/atlanta+875+(2).jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a>Off to the left is an incredibly huge tree in the front side yard of this home. It is truly a monumental tree - my camera is not capable of capturing it all. I'm a little worried though as I notice the lack of leaves at the top. This is the type of tree you truly mourn when it dies.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyCSfypGZmKS4ReLq5LIjZJ9kqKsd5gnuG9EFzaUWtd2THeZdJhjv2rt7dPhuX0q7pRDOlq9P_OuLct2mdaR_UICUXekGGlL2c8v60V13iFwezVI9vk55uDWArYetTj7o0eV9UvFb9WQU/s1600-h/atlanta+870+(2).jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356881936950117810" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyCSfypGZmKS4ReLq5LIjZJ9kqKsd5gnuG9EFzaUWtd2THeZdJhjv2rt7dPhuX0q7pRDOlq9P_OuLct2mdaR_UICUXekGGlL2c8v60V13iFwezVI9vk55uDWArYetTj7o0eV9UvFb9WQU/s640/atlanta+870+(2).jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguo6wmhFhPZ7pTSZxyHmd8fZe7emU1q3NMKBTWOKIetr65P0J6NBQxSWZxVn49Q3zT4cRHE79xrQN25Ar5KbgejYwSHTIBIvqM8Ca5-opbWN2gMEGNV4wYLmmlxwk-F3j-y38xO6tTLV0/s1600-h/atlanta+863+(3).jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356881706246364946" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguo6wmhFhPZ7pTSZxyHmd8fZe7emU1q3NMKBTWOKIetr65P0J6NBQxSWZxVn49Q3zT4cRHE79xrQN25Ar5KbgejYwSHTIBIvqM8Ca5-opbWN2gMEGNV4wYLmmlxwk-F3j-y38xO6tTLV0/s640/atlanta+863+(3).jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> The other angle is the better one for taking a pic of this house but it was occupied by a landscaping crew - didn the know I was on assignment!

The back wall is covered in a brown grass cloth. Notice the two lamps on both sides of the fireplace; that's something I haven't seen before.

The round mirror in the fireplace and the mirror panels flanking the fireplace are my favorite features in this room.
