Royar Square - Health Sciences Campus

I never knew until this week that the sqare located in front of the Winnie Davis Building is named for named in honor of Vice Admiral Murrey Royar   (1894-1985).
                                                                                 

UGA Football Fashion

I saw these beauties as I was walking downtown yesterday.  This is a sure sign that football season is about to start.  Can't you picture someone wearing these with a short black dress as she heads down to Sanford Stadium to cheer on the Dawgs?

The boots are a little beyond my budget but if you're interested in grabbing a pair, you can check out The Clubhouse on College Ave.

Random Shots for a Saturday morning

Just some random shots that I came across this morning while I was trying to organize my photos.  I always enjoy the messages on the Methodist church downtown but this one is my favorite!

And she did bigger and better.  Great job everyone.   I am looking forward to more concerts this year.

And of course, Jared did not save the tree.  I don't have words to describe the house that took the place of the tree.  My mom always told me if you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all.  Let's just leave it at that.

Athens is my favorite town.  There is both good and bad here like in any town.  New and old.  Ugly and beautiful.  Sometimes you will find them living right next door to each other.   I hope you get a chance to enjoy our town.

Lost Art

While I was looking at some of the photos that I have taken I came across one of the beautiful mural that used to be on the side of the Georgia Theatre.  I must admit that I miss this touching memorial.  There was something comforting about the angel watching over the mural.  The inscription used to read:
"All the love I had ever known went away.  I was dazed & my eyes were white like cueballs.  I fell asleep where I stood crumbled in a heap.  When I awoke there was an angel sitting on the floor beside me.  She stayed with me every day, every hour with her hand in mine until I found my love.
This mural is dedicated to Aimee.

The Arch in the morning.  Located on the Broad Street entrance to the campus, The Arch is an iconic symbol of the University of Georgia.

Signs (with apologies to the Five Man Electrical Band)

While walking home from work today I passed this sign.  No stopping or standing?  Really?  Be careful.  They might prosecute you if you spend too much time trying to read the historical marker to the right of the "sign."  While I was taking the photos I kept expecting someone to come running out of the church yelling at me for stopping on the corner.

Actually I am sure this sign is just a way for the church to try to drive away the homeless people who congregate in the "park" next door.  I guess they haven't gotten around to reading Matthew 25:31-46 yet.
