Stone Mountain Laser Show

I went to the Stone Mountain Laser Show last night.  It was a sight to see as I’d never been to one before.  I have a lot to learn in snapping fireworks pics, but I thought I’d include a couple here for you to see. Please try to ignore my amateur photography “skills.”

Dahlonega’s Gold Museum

Gold Museum in Dahlonega

In the middle of the square in Dahlonega is their gold museum.  This used to be city hall and is a beautiful centerpiece to one of our most picturesque towns.

The Edge of the World

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.

The Dog at the Edge of the World

Dog at the edge of the worldWhen we visited North Georgia recently, and took our picnic at the “edge of the world” we enjoyed watching this beautiful chocolate lab retrieving a buoy for his master. He was a year and a half and so excited to frolick in the waterfall.

This is Georgia. The man and his pet were complete strangers and yet neighbors. We traded stories about Labrador retrievers and how energetic they can be. We admired this fine animal as he strove to go in the fastest moving part of the waterfall. It was truly a joy to watch this animal. In Georgia we love animals and we always take time to swap stories with “neighbors” — even those we don’t know!

Laurel Lane at the edge of the world

Mountain laurels

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.
