October 2018

The best pictures I took during October.  The first two are a sunrise at Lake Lanier, and the next four are a Yonah Trails Preserver outside Cleveland, Ga.  Then follow a number of shots from the Cumming Fair.  And lastly, an amazing sunrise late in the month, one of the all-time best IMHO.

Latest updates and issues

November 2, 2018:  After a few months of not being allowed to upload any pictures, the problem has been resolved.  However, and this is still a significant problem, the thumbnail pictures are all quite out of focus.  The actual pictures are sharp if viewed at full size.  I sure hope I can figure out a solution quickly.

August 2018

A variety of stuff from August 2018.

First, a set of mushroom shots from a venture to Chicopee Woods with the Sonny Day Hikers.

Then shots from the Greenway near Fowler Park, a daylily seedpod shell from the backyard, and some sunrises at Lake Lanier, with the lake some four feet above full pool.

 

Late July 2018

A variety of shots from the yard, and one of reflections in Dick’s Creek.

Gibbs Gardens in July 2018

This summer’s trip to Gibbs Gardens was a good as ever, with many interesting opportunities.

Smith Creek Trail, July 2018

A day with the Sonny Day Hikers.  We began at the parking lot for Ana-Ruby Falls, progressed to the falls, and then took the 4.5 mile trail down to the campground at Unicoi State Park.  It was quite a hike, with numerous mushrooms (a fungus photo frolic?) and more than a few deadfalls to climb over.

Blooms in the yard, July 2018

A few blooms in my yard this summer:

Native Plants, July 7

Made a run to the garden before the rains came.  Got a number of species I had never shot before.

Late June, Early July 2018

A variety of places and things:

A great sunrise at Lake Laniter yielded one of my better sunrise compositions, at least in my opinion, and an interesting shot of grasses in the water.   Then I went to UNG for the fireworks on the Fourth, and lastly the cannalilies bloomed in the front yard.

 

Mid-June 2018

Various times and places:  Gibbs Gardens for the first time in a long time, a couple of hikes and a nice Father’s Day sunrise at Lake  Lanier.
