Images from my yard, from Red Top Mountain State Park and from West Bank Park on Lake Lanier. The daisy mums in my yard bloom in October for a nice bit of color in the fall. I was at Red Top Mtn
State Park with the Sonny Day Hikers. It was raining or rainy most of the time, but I got out anyway since the water made the colors pop. And lastly, we had a foggy sunrise in early November, but there was enough light to get a bit of color.
A group of us from the North Georgia Photography Club leapfrogged a train from the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum in Chattanooga, TN south to Summerville, GA and back. That took all day as the train took four hours each way to cover the 50 or so miles each way.
We had a few colorful twilights and sunrises in late September and early October. I did not have much other chance to get out.
I spent a couple days wandering the rim of the Grand Canyon just to look at it and try to find some interesting images.
A few of the images I have from this period. Many are morning twilight at West Bank Park on Lake Lanier. One is from a neighbor’s yard.
A few more trips to the lake for sunrise. The weather has been very hot and humid, not the sort of thing that make me want to get out a lot.
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.
A few sunrises and a few miscellaneous other stuff.
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.
I got out a fair bit, and so there is a greater variety of pictures. Some birds, some flowers, some waterfalls, some sunrises.
