Atlanta Steeplechase

The Atlanta Steeplechase last Saturday at Kingston Downs was a perfect springtime activity! Renee, Jody, Shahrzad and I all donned our most gentrified hats for the occasion. There was much discussion of attire and millinery leading up to the event. As we made our way into the countryside we remarked in admiring tones on the flow of the river, the sparkle of sun on pond, and the huge green fields stretching out before us. Renee and I opted to share one professional camera. It turned into a fun exercise, taking turns documenting what we found most interesting or pointing out things for the person holding the camera at the moment. Here are some of the scenes we gleaned from the afternoon:

"Are you wearing your Ridiculously Fun Pants?"
"Why yes, I just got them yesterday at Ridiculously Fun Pants Couture...at Phipps!"


So many hats to admire....


"I use this over-sized barbecue sandwich to shield my face from the paparazzi- I say good day!"


One of my favorite images, of all the girls walking ahead of me through the grass.


Renee and Shahrzad pause, I can't remember why-


I love that Renee can actually take photos of me that I like, the images are so natural.
