Photographs and commentary by Dick Snoke
Made the trip to the gardens to see the new wildflower garden. Many, perhaps millions, of Cosmos in full bloom. I am not entirely sure these are native wildflowers, but they sure are pretty. It took me a while to figure out where the…
Had a great hike from Woody Gap toward Miller Gap past Preacher’s Rock. Great weather for hiking and good photo ops along the way. We did not go all the way to Miller Gap because we didn’t want to hike back up the hills…
Pictures from the first two weeks of October. First is the first good sunrise after quite a stretch of rainy, dull days. Then there are some shots of the remaining raindrops or dewdrops around the yard. Next is sunrise a week later, and lastly…
Pictures from two days. First is a set of pictures taken around a neighbor’s butterfly bushes. I have no idea if these are even actually butterflies. The could be moths of some sort. But I like the results. Second are pictures from a sunrise…

Continuing the pattern of shooting alone, either around the yard or on early morning jaunts to Lake Lanier. I have begun hiking more, but there is not much to photograph, at least not much I find interesting.
I did not go out much for the past couple of weeks, mainly because the weather has not been good. Too wet or too hot most of the time. But I did shoot the few blooms in the yard, the one good sunrise this…
