Gibbs Gardens, October 2021

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…

On the AT with the Hearthstone Hikers

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…

First Half of October 2021

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…

The end of September 2021

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…

September 2021

A selection from walks in the yard, on the greenway and at the lake. We had heavy rains from Nicholas, and so we had heavy dew for several days. I tried for images several days but only a few worked out. Something to continue…

September Sunrise

Cruised on Lake Lanier before sunrise one morning in early September hoping for a colorful, dramatic sunrise, but it was not to be. So I had to work to find good compositions and good light.

Late August 2021

A bit of repetition here. I included some pictures of Hemlock falls, but added new pictures of a couple of sunrise walks at West Bank Park on Lake Lanier near Buford Dam. The sunrises have started being a bit better than we’ve had for…

Hemlock FAlls, Aug 2021

I did the scouting hike for the Hearthstone Hikers along with a few folks from the camera club on a sunny bright summer day. The trail was quite wet from recent rains, and the water was running high and hard. None of us had…

Early to Mid-August 2021

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.

Late July 2021

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…
