An outing with the North Georgia Photography Club to some waterfalls and in search of fall color. We visited the falls on Dick’s Creek near Turner Crossroad, then on to Helton Creek Falls and ended up at Vogel State Park. The color was excellent, and we encountered more and more leaf peepers as the day went on. For whatever reason, I was not inspired by the waterfalls as I often am, but it was still a great day.
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.
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.
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.
A variety of shots from the yard, and one of reflections in Dick’s Creek.
This summer’s trip to Gibbs Gardens was a good as ever, with many interesting opportunities.
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.
A few blooms in my yard this summer:
Made a run to the garden before the rains came. Got a number of species I had never shot before.
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.
