End of Summer 2024

The first 21 days of September had a few really nice sunrises. However, we’ve not had many clouds or much rain in that period. Even my weeds won’t grow for lack of water. So I’ve been up many mornings for a walk by the lake, and I’ve photographed whatever I thought was interesting.

August 2024

I got up for sunrise most days this month, and I got a few images I really like. Not many days provided great color, but a few were well above average.

2H July 2024

Another set of images from my morning walks at West Bank Park. We had a string of terrific light shows before the more recent cloudy mornings.

First half of July 2024

The month began with a string of nice sunrises.

June 2024

It was an eventful month photographically. Some sunrises, some flowers (both with and without pollinators), and the grandchildren performing. Not a bad time at all.

First is the single good sunrise image from the early part of the month.

Then we have images from the second half of the month

Then a few from Rose and Clara at their Pick ‘n Bow concert

No Images found.

And lastly, a visit to Gibbs Gardens for the waterlily blooms

Helen to the Atlantic hot-air balloon race, May 2024

An annual event by the Head Balloon company in Helen, GA. This year the race start featured nearly no wind at the lower levels. The crews were expecting to have to get to 10,000 feet before they’d find the breeze they needed. That meant we had many shots from nearly straight below the balloons. Another great time.

Yosemite National Park, 2024

A trip to Yosemite Valley with Road Scholars in the last week of April and first part of May. It was glorious. The lone downside was that we had perfectly clear skies all the time. We had no clouds to incorporate as background to the waterfalls and cliffs and river and trees. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

April -May 2024

A few flowers and a sunrise. I did not do much photography outside the Helen balloon race and my trip to Yosemite Valley.

Early April 2024

A variety of images from Lake Lanier and my yard.

Gibbs Gardens in April 2024

Drove up to the gardens one morning before expected storms. Excellent tulips, and the Japanese Garden is always nice.
