We’ve got a little family living in the yard.

The Ogeechee River
The Ogeechee is a real treasure. It is one of the few unspoiled rivers we have left, and I grew up about 10 miles from it. These photos were taken by the Highway 119 Bridge, just north of Guyton.
Nice Day at Berry
I took a little trip up to Berry College with some friends on Sunday and got some pretty good photos.

Fort Mountain State Park
I’m late posting these, but I got some great pictures this past summer.
Whistle Stop Cafe
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.
Carters Lake
The lake was almost dried up last year. Good to see it’s making a comeback.
Summer Moon
The Birds of Lake Carroll
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.
Mother Goose
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 Scenery in Middle Georgia
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!
What kind of flowers are these?

Photographic Evidence – Golf Ball-sized Hail!
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.
