A collaborative effort between Georgia educators and their cameras.
Literally! They just finished a new parking deck at Kennesaw State, and I drove to the top to take a few photos. They are now building a new dining hall and health services building. They expect to have them done next fall.
Some relatives of mine and I went to Juliette Georgia to eat at the Whistle Stop Cafe on Saturday. Juliette is very small town on the Ocmulgee River and is very picturesque. We did have Green Fried Tomatoes and Vidalia Onion Rings. We have eaten both of the dishes when in season for years. Juliette is a lovely place to visit if you are passing through.
Hummingbirds are so cute. I’m learning how to photograph them. Boy does it ever take patience!!!
The lake was almost dried up last year. Good to see it’s making a comeback.
The itty bitty town of Tallapoosa put on a fanstastic fireworks show on the 4th of July. I took over 300 pictures and the show lasted a good 40-45 minutes. If you’re ever near western Georgia on Independence Day you need to check it out. You won’t be disappointed. I’ve included a couple of my pics here.
Lake Carroll in Carrollton is a haven for flocks of Canadian Geese, ducks, and other waterfowl. These are some photos taken from one of my visits to the lake.

Canadian Goose drying off feathers
The geese flocked to the water to preen their feathers. This looks like a picture of flight, but the geese would actually just flap their wings and stroll a little ways across the water. I guess they were just trying to dry out the feathers and get them all oily and shiny again.
Start Slide Show with PicLens Lite I’ve always loved this field, which is located on Highway41 right on the Bartow/Gordon line. Today the light was good and the sky was great.

There was an old mill on a large beautiful lake outside of Rhine, Georgia. The mill is no longer there, but the folks around here still call it the Mill Pond. Cypress tress are the homes for a wide variety birds and other animals. It use to be open to the public for guided tours. It was wonderful for field trips. The scenery and wildlife are gorgeous!

I took a trip up to Springer Mountain, which is the southern terminus for the Appalachian Trail. The weather was perfect!

PicLens turns your browser into a 3D slide show of some of your favorite sites (including this one!). You can install it on either FireFox or Internet Explorer, and it works on sites like Amazon, Flickr, and Google Image Search. You can even launch it when you’re not on a supported site and it will present you with a gallery of movies and images from a variety of categories.
You can also enable it on your blog. If you look at the bottom of any of the posts on this site, you will see a link that says “Start Slide Show with PicLens Lite.” Even if you haven’t installed PicLens in your browser you can still see a slide show of the photos in that post. In addition to enabling it on this blog, I enabled it on my main blog at http://stephenrahn.com/blog.
If you have installed PicLens in FireFox and you find yourself on a PicLens enabled site, you will see a small icon in the bottom left corner of photos on that site. You can click that icon to launch the full slide show, or you can click the PicLens icon in your browser toolbar. In Internet Explorer you’ll just need to click the icon in the toolbar.
Get PicLens here! (Yes, it’s free!)
Start Slide Show with PicLens Lite At around six o’clock today it started to sound like someone was throwing rocks at the house. I looked outside and saw hailstones crushing everything in sight. I decided to take a prisoner.
Note: Actual golf balls were not falling from the sky. Just hail.
Start Slide Show with PicLens Lite I have a friend that took me over to Barnsley Gardens this weekend. What a gorgeous place! I took lots of pictures, but this one was my favorite.
We got to spend a little time at Tybee yesterday. It’s grown up a lot since I moved from that area.
