Thanks, Mike. It is indeed a great time of year - glad the rain has stopped!
Atlanta does have its big city woes like many other big cities (i.e. traffic & water), but this much I can say about Atlanta:
1. It hits the 70's every month of the year (at least since I have moved here - it has reached at least 70F every single month I have lived here).
2. No matter how many drive-by's (pics) I do - this place is so massive there is always something new to discover somewhere every day. While new huge palms are always the prize, this year I am really going to focus on unusual BLE's and big camellias.
If I run out of interesting stuff in Atlanta, I will pop down to Macon.
Thanks, Phil
