Road trip, August 2025

I drove from home to visit family in Wisconsin and Minnesota, and to move some furniture from one state to another in the process. I stopped first at Fall Creek Falls State Park near Spenser, TN. I hope for more water in the falls, but such is life.

From there I went on to Marathon City, WI to drop off an antique rocker. I stayed overnight and got some interesting images the following morning.

On to the Twin Cities to see siblings and other relatives, and to pick up an antique sewing machine that moved to Georgia. While there I went one morning to the Wood Lake Nature Center in Richfield, and the next morning to the Cedar Ave pedestrian bridge. The water was to high for the waders at Wood Lake, so only one image there. The next morning was much more productive. The last morning, I walked around Lake Susan with my sister, and there were a few interesting images there.

Second half or July 2025

A few sunrises and a few miscellaneous other stuff.

First Half of July 2025

A selection of sunrises with one image from the Big Tree Forest Preserve. I was able to get out for sunrise fairly often, and I did hike some. I just didn’t find many good images along the trail. That may have been due, in part, to the excessive heat and humidity we’re having.

That image of the red sun is something I’ve been trying to get for years. At last I was able to get an exposure that got the red color right and still let me see the rest of the image. Happy camper I am.

Second half of June 2025

I got out a fair bit, and so there is a greater variety of pictures. Some birds, some flowers, some waterfalls, some sunrises.

The first half of June 2025

I got out some, as the weather permitted. The North Georgia Photography Club id one of our Tour d’Falls in Rabun county. It was a fun day. I also got a lot of good flower images in Bridle Ridge, again as the rain permitted.

Second half of May 2025

A mix of things. I had a couple nice sunrises in among the rainy mornings, and I got some nice shots in the yard.

Early May 2025

We had a number of nice sunrises early in the month. I managed to get to the lake to see them. This is the best color we’ve had in many months.

Mid to Late April 2025

I had a busy month. I attended a workshop at the Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont, then I spent a couple days hiking with the Sonny Day Hikers, I had a lot of blooms and stuff in the yard, and finally got a nice sunrise to end the month. All in all, a good month photographically.

Early April 2025

I did get to the lake a few times. Not all sunrises were colorful, but I did get some abstracts I like of the puddles of pine pollen.

March 2025

I did a bit more photography this month. A few sunrises and a trip to Gibbs Gardens.
