I’m late posting these, but I got some great pictures this past summer.
Whistle Stop Cafe
10-Aug-08
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.
Afternoon Hayfield Shots

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.

Scenery in Middle Georgia
23-Jun-08
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!
Springer Mountain
21-Jun-08
I took a trip up to Springer Mountain, which is the southern terminus for the Appalachian Trail. The weather was perfect!

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.

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.
Flowers

I love flowers, and I love to photograph them. These flowers belong to a friend who had invited me over to take some pictures.
Me again

I always post here in the spring, because well, it’s just my favorite time of year. I almost thought I wasn’t going to get to post because I lost my password for this site. Luckily, Wordpress came through. Hope you enjoy!

Mud Slinging in South Georgia
25-May-07
We had a great time at church not too long a go. We hauled in a great huge pile of dirt and invited the fire department. We let the kids just play! It was so much fun!
This is is what is so amazing about small towns, we do these nutty, fun things and we all have a bit of kid in us!

Not many houses have these brick chimneys these days. This is the house my dad was born in.
Farm Country
17-Dec-06
Yes, the area I live in is still a farming community. That is changing as the area is becoming more urbanized, but the farmers around here are proud of what they do. And they should be!
Deer at Berry College

Here are a couple of photos my dad took recently. The deer at Berry aren’t too afraid of people, as the campus is a deer sanctuary.

New Echota
04-Nov-06
The town of New Echota was made the capital of the Cherokee Nation in 1819. It was here in 1835 that the Treaty of New Echota was signed, which gave up all Cherokee lands in Alabama and Georgia. Only three years later, the Trail of Tears started.
New Echota is located just north of Calhoun, and I spent a couple of hours there today.
Here is a link to the entire set of photos.
