I’m late posting these, but I got some great pictures this past summer.

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.

The lake was almost dried up last year. Good to see it’s making a comeback.

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!

The dogwoods are in bloom all over Georgia. The pink and white mixture can be simply breathtaking.

This field is located only a few miles from my home. This is how it looked a little over two years ago.

Scenes from the little known waterfall near Dahlonega aptly named “the Edge of the World.” As we trekked in we met a professor with textbooks and samples in tow coming from this haven from the outside world. This is a great place to go.

Recently, my husband took me to Dahlonega for my birthday. We love to get a pic nic lunch and hike to a reclusive waterfall called “the edge of the world.” We saw so many amazing things there. I particularly loved this portion of the half mile hike back out from the falls.

North Georgia is truly beautiful and is our favorite place to vacation.

Mirror Lake is located in Villa Rica, which is in West Georgia. My parents recently bought a home there, and I took this from almost behind their house. The larger version is really much better.

Y’all know how high the heat and humidity can be in our state, so it’s somewhat unusual to see the sky be so blue.  It has really been crystal clear at times this spring, but the clouds this evening didn’t cover it up too much.  This picture was taken in the late evening just before dusk.  The clouds are non threatening and very pretty.  I thought it made a nice scenic photo.

Aunt Nan’s yard is one of my favorite places to go and photograph. She is so very talented. She loves gardening and documenting south Georgia history. She is very well educated. She also loves dogs. I think she has eight right now.
