100+ Strangers Challenge - Charles Pinckney

Stranger #109

I visited the Art on Ruffner Mountain show recently and this man's smile just stopped me in my tracks. Meet very talented jewelry artist Charles Pinckney from Athens, Georgia.

UPDATE: Charles tells me he'll be at the Magic City Art Connection next weekend. Come on out B'ham readers and meet him in person.

Every Dog Has His Day

And this sweet pooch was no exception.  He/she brought his human to Art on Ruffner Mountain Saturday and there were plenty of nice folks to hand out chin scratches.  Art on R Mountain was sponsored by the East Lake Arts District.

Budding Artists

Today one more trip to the East Lake Arts District/Ruffner Mt. Nature Center's Art Show.  In the great new Tree Top Visitor's Center, kid friendly art projects were in progress on the deck.

Enjoying the Spring Day..

and Art on Ruffner Mountain.  This collaboration between the East Lake Arts District and the Ruffner Mountain Nature Center was great fun and the weather was fantastic!

Me And My Shadows

This lucky boy was spending the spring afternoon with his grandparents at East Lake Art District /Ruffner Mountain Nature Center's Art at Ruffner Mountain last Saturday.  I captured their shadows upon their arrival and later found them having an up close look at the snakes!  ( I stayed back and zoomed. I can't do snakes. Yikes!)
