Pictures from my wandering around. A nice sunrise one morning, some things in the yard after the rains, and some from a walk around the Bowman’s Island trail below Buford Dam along the Chattahoochee River. Nothing really special, but I had fun.
I drove to Helen, GA twice in three days for the annual ballooning festival. First are pictures taken at the start of the annual Helen-to-the-Atlantic balloon race. Second are pictures taken a couple of days later. On the second day, the balloons did not launch due to wind problems, and there were far more people around. So I made some abstract images of the colors and patterns.
We traveled to the Twin Cities to attend Gabby’s high school graduation, to visit family, and to see what sort of stuff was blooming at the time. The first album is from the graduation. The second is from two venues: Lake Normandale and the Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden at Theodore Wirth Park.
A few more things: Some flowers found on a hike by myself one morning, another sunrise, and a couple pictures when I could not find any birds to shoot.
A couple of things here.
First is pictures of flowers. Some are the flowers in my yard, and the rest are at the native plant garden at one of the local greenway trailheads.
And Clara rode in another equestrian event, this time on Papoose, a horse she’s only been riding a little while.
And, as always, a few sunrise pictures from my favorite spot on Lake Lanier.
A couple of good sunrises on May 2 and May 3.
Two outings: first I hiked the trails at Cochran Shoals along the Chattahooochee River. Second, I competed in the annual North Georgia Camera Club Council shootout, held this year in Dallas, GA.
All the stuff blooming at once in the yard: irises, roses, daisies, azalea and a few ferns I did not capture. Hostas and hydrangea still to come.
A neighbor who is a master gardener invited me to photograph her yard, So I did. I did not have time to get to all the plantings, That will be for another day.
A few from a nice sunrise and visit to the native plant garden
