Been there! I love Edinburgh. Was there to see my brother and father play in the Military Tattoo at the same time as the Fringe Festival.
I had an S5 so believe me when I say the Pixel 2 is leaps and bounds better! It's faster, smoother, and has better speakers. I absolutely love using the Squeeze feature with Google Assistant. BUT the S5 has expandable memory and a headphone jack, which I miss on the Pixel 2.
Mr Gray, the racoon, and Flower, the skunk, having an early dinner together this afternoon. Mrs. Stewie has been feeding these two for around three years and they have become companions. They usually show up and leave together.

So, my Pixel 2 and I made a weekend-ish trip to Atlanta, just got back very early this morning. Here are some highlights:
Panoramic shot of where I ate dinner Saturday night in Decatur at My Parent's Basement, a restaurant/bar/comic book shop/pinball joint, good beer list, great food:
One of the reasons for the trip was a chance to finally get to the Georgia Aquarium, and see the whale sharks. It did not disappoint:
There were a few other fish swimming around as well, such as this enormous grouper (EDIT: I just realized that I'm visible in the reflection on the plexiglas, wearing my "Haddon Industries" t-shirt - bonus points for any geeks that get the reference from that
):
A really interesting sting ray:
Manta Ray:
And, yes, I did get out for a walk in Piedmont Park yesterday before it got ridiculously hot (the air quality was rough, however, so it was a shorter walk than we wanted it to be), and of course, I took complete advantage to get some nice flower shots:

Snaps from a walk around my block at sunrise Sunday morning, before going to bed (We drove back from Portland, OR after playing last on Saturday nite. I was too caffienated to sleep any sooner.)
After such a long grey rainy season (winter in Seattle), it's really nice to see all the flower fotos in full bloom from all over in this thread

If you’ve yet to visit the GA Aquarium (bought and paid for, personally, by Arthur Blanke), ya really oughta.
There’s no denying it’s pricey, but I’d have paid the fee if all I came away with was these two pictures.
These pics WIN.
And while I dislike one of Mr Blank's other major possessions (Failclowns!
), the aquarium ALMOST makes up for it.
Bonus photo for today:
Panorama of an approaching thunderstorm over the lake in front of dad's house just a few minutes ago (all hell is breaking loose out there now!

So, I still have the Pixel 2, long story...but at least another week's reprieve!
Dawn this morning:
An orange blossom, with very small/juvenile oranges in the background:
The infamous Ox, curled up next to me asleep:
An unidentified flower, smaller than you might think:
For size reference, this is the flower, with my 10.5 size sneaker next to it:
A while back, I posted a photo of a husky named Bear. This is his sister, Sasha:
And, last but not least, the most recent photo of our family of Sandhill cranes, just a couple of doors down from my dad's house:
...I had a busy day takin' photos today (and I left out almost 10 other flower pics...)....

Sunset over Sacramento a couple of nights ago:
Better driver than most folks in these parts.
An orange Honda Element? I drove one just like it for 13 years...
Savannah GA.
Taken during my last trip to the US, around 7AM, while conducting yet another fruitless search for drinkable coffee in the states...

Poor old Tassie...Left off the map again.Our daughter and son in law lived in Australia for almost 13 years...between 2004 and about a year ago.
They’ve moved back to GA, and brought their baby...of Course her name is Georgia
We visited them for Mothers’ Day, and I got my first look at the house-warming present our son made for them...
