Photographs and commentary by Dick Snoke
The crew spent a couple of days at Cloudland Canyon State Park during the week after Easter. On my way there, I stopped for a second look at the Shirley Miller Wildflower Trail northwest of Lafayette, GA and not too far from Cloudland Canyon. I had a different set of blooms this time, and being alone, I took my time to get better images.
The canyon was excellent. We had nice weather, the trails were well-kept, and the blooms were profuse. We drove to the open end of the canyon and hiked up toward the Hemlock Falls and Cherokee Falls. There was a point where the water off the side of the canyon was more than folks wanted to cross, and so we turned back. Still, it was a fun morning out, and I saw many blooms I don’t normally see in my area.
The first half of the pictures are from the wildflower trail, while the second half are from Cloudland Canyon.
