Branching Out from Huntsville

I've been in Huntsville, AL for a little over a week, and like all my travel, I'm really enjoying the experience.

Retention Pond Sunset - Huntsville, AL

Thankfully, the sun sets and rises here in about the same way it does everywhere else I've been, and I've been able to find a vista or two. I do need some more time to explore, but in a matter of days, I've found some "old standby" haunts when time is short and the need for some beauty is high.

I'm not letting the moss grow on my this rolling stone, and tomorrow I head out to Georgia to attend the Second Annual (2017) Georgia Tiny House Festival in Eatonton, GA.

I'm planning on hammock camping which will be a first for me, and I'm really looking forward to the adventure. We'll see how it all shakes out, but I'm hoping to have some tall tales and photos worth sharing before it's all said and done.  Until then...

Open to the Surprises of the Universe

I don't normally like making travel connections through Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. I also don't normally prefer to take photos indoors. Today was different.

Rainforest Art Installation - Atlanta International Airport
Atlanta, GA

Since I had plenty of time between connections, I decided to take the pedestrian path between Concourse A where I landed and Concourse D where my connection was patiently waiting. In the span between Concourse A and Concourse B, I came upon the rainforest art installation pictured above.

There were sound, light, and video elements that the still photo just doesn't capture. I had to pull up short because I thought I was about to walk through a curtain of falling water.  Nope. Just light and sound that gave every impression of water falling out of the ceiling and onto the floor. It was exceptionally well done.

Today was an "in my face" reminder that I need to be open to the surprises the Universe puts in the middle of my path. Sometimes, they're on the ceiling, so I better not forget to look up.

Tomorrow will be a new day with new discoveries, and I'm looking forward to the adventure.
