The next few posts are of two amazing places I recently visited while discovering Atlanta. I highly recommend exploring both if you are in the area. Hope you enjoy....

Serenbe is an organic, environment friendly community located south of Atlanta near Palmetto, GA. The community has organic farms, with green friendly homes and stores. Starting in the month of May there is a farmers market in the middle of downtown where the locals bring their farm fresh goods. The Farmhouse at Serenbe is a quaint restaurant with food well worth the drive. The day we went was cold and rainy so we experienced most of downtown from within the warmth of the car but still a fabulous day filled with laughs.

Welcome to the The Streets of Serenbe....

Roswell is a cute little community on the north-side of Atlanta. Just one exit up 285 or a few back roads away, it is an easy hop, skip, and a jump from my apartment. Filled with amazing restaurants, cute shops, and beautiful streets it is like stepping back in time. If you ever get the chance to visit I highly recommend popping in It's So Fabulous Antiques and then hitting up Ceviche for some Latin street cuisine.

I love flowers, such a happy creation. Painted with all colors and styles. All different....kind of like people if you think about it. I heard someone say once "Don't try to be a carbon copy when you were born to be an original." I think the flowers have this one down pat maybe we should catch on. :)

The Blue Eyed Daisy Bakeshop is located in the heart of Serenbe. There are no neon signs in this green friendly community (notice the letters on top of the store). With a delightful atmosphere, tasty pastries, and plenty of hot teas and coffee, this quaint shop is definitely worth a stop while you are in the area.

The Farmhouse Restaurant at Serenbe was amazing. Their southern organic cooking was fresh and full of flavor. By far the best fried chicken I have ever had. It has a wonderful cozy welcome home feeling. Great food with great people, can't ask for much more. Definitely two thumbs up!!

I love doors....I love to wonder how many people have walked through them or where they may lead. I love things that are old. Things that have a history and a story.

This was a fountain in Roswell that I was fascinated with. I love to photograph water. :)
