I made a quick stop in downtown Fairmount the other night to get shots of the Christmas Ornaments. My youngest decided to brave the cold with me. Most of the time, she was running around looking at the other lights, but for this shot, she stood patiently beside me.
I get to see the Salacoa Valley in North Georgia on a regular basis. That means sights like this are not out of the norm. During the spring and fall, there is usually a thick fog that flows along the creek and fills the valley. I ran across it on this morning just before the sun came up.
I ran across this moss covered bridge while hiking at the trails at Sope Creek. According to the carving at the head of the bridge, this was completed as an Eagle Scout project. When I saw that, it reminded me of the time I had completing mine and the memories created.
About a week ago, we had some massive rains over about a 24 hour period. I think we ended up with around 5 inches of rain total. It caused Salacoa Creek to rise extremely high. Once the waters came down, there was a small area that had waters that looked like pure teal.
In the words of my oldest child, “OMG!!!” This was such a hit with the family. No need for fireworks here when we have real fire to play with. I have always admired fire dancers, but never had the desire to try it. I don’t really know why because I have an affinity for fire. So, this was really neat and a great way to end 2013 and ring in 2014. SAFETY is a must with this and I am so glad to have had such a perfect place for this to be done safely.
