Entrance Pictures from "Buckhead in Bloom" April 11, 2010

Other Atlanta bloggers were there too. I saw Helen Young from Whitehaven blog. She'd seen Holly from Things that Inspire, and Blayne Beacham from This Photographer's Life (In Search of a Style), and James from Limestone & Boxwoods.

And thanks so much to my old work friend (he's not old, I'm am) Steven Bennett for saying hello.

More later and thanks,
Terry

  8. I am looking for other projects by architect Clement J. Ford. He apparently designed a home in Carrollton GA, for a family named Folds, that was later used as a college preparatory high school. Can anyone help?
