Pic(k) of the Week: Little Cottage Brewery (and pale ale)

On a delightful spring afternoon, Hymn Songs of an Alternate Universe —a 6.1% alcohol pale ale— was on draught, alfresco on the patio, at Little Cottage Brewery, in Avondale Estates, Georgia, USA. 29 May 2021.

Little Cottage —a production brewery— first opened on 15 May 2021. Its brewer/owner is Jon Shari, a successful Atlanta, Georgia-area homebrewer. The facilities, especially considering the light-industrial confines, are quite pleasant.

Pic(k) of the Week: The creek at the end of the pond

It looks as if it were a beaver dam...that is, if beavers could move rocks.

Cecilia Creek flows from the southeastern end of Postal Pond, in Legacy Park of Decatur, Georgia, USA. 22 April 2021.

Pic(k) of the Week: Tiny wood sorrel on the Greenway

April showers bring May flowers. Like these.

Tiny violet wood sorrel flowers blossom on the East Decatur Greenway, in DeKalb County, Georgia, USA. 2 May 2021.

Violet wood-sorrel (Oxalis violacea) is a native plant in much of the United States, from the Rocky Mountains east to the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico coasts, and through Eastern Canada. It has a tendency to cluster in open places in damp woods and on stream banks, and in moist prairies.

— Wikipedia.

By the way, this is a closeup. The wood sorrel appears much larger in the image than it did in 'real' life.

Pic(k) of the Week: Bullfrog in pond

The bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus) have begun bellowing. It's mating season, in among the water clover, of Postal Pond, in Legacy Park of Decatur, Georgia, USA, on 27 April 2021.

I could hear this loud fellow well before I could see him, well camouflaged as he was. That is, until I used my camera's telephoto lens as a monocular to spot him.

Legacy Park is an in-the-city park. But at 77 acres, it can have an in-the-country feel. Just ignore the occasional bleat of a car horn in the distance.
