I was driving to town the other day with my dad when we ran across this heard of cattle. There was this one cow brown cow in a heard of black cattle. Not only did it stand out for being a different color, it was also the only on that had stuck its head through the fence and was munching on the grass from the other side.
Back in October, I took the family on their first camping trip. We stayed at a little campground called Mountain Glen. It was a good place to take them for their first trip. This was the small pond / lake at the bottom of the hill we had our tent set up on. I am an early riser and when I go camping, that seems to get enhanced greatly. Maybe it is that I don’t really sleep, or it could have been the extreme weather we faced. The night before this shot, it misted and was completely cloudy. I thought the clouds would have stayed until the morning, but the sky was clear for miles. I set up for the sunrise by the lake and spent the morning with the resident Canadian goose.

I was worried the camera would tip over, or worse, a branch from one of the nearby trees would take it out. Fortunately, everything survived and I turned out with a descent time lapse.
On our way home from Fall Creek Falls, I drove down this long two lane road with not much along it. I began to get worried that I had taken a wrong turn somewhere. Then, I passed this little lake in the middle of nowhere. Of course, I did not …Continue Reading Here…
I am one of those few people who actually like bugs. That makes it okay when we stop by the butterfly exhibit at the Chattanooga Aquarium. In the wild, there is very little chance of having one of these beauties light on your fingertip. However, here, it is a common [Continue Reading…]
During my recent trip to Fall Creek Falls State Park in Tennessee, I had to make the trip to the base of the falls. This is just a half mile trek. Not bad, right? That is until you start walking. This trail is labeled strenuous for …Continue Reading Here…
I found this tree along the hiking trail at the Pine Mountain Recreation Area in Cartersville. Well, I didn’t actually find it, the girls pointed it out. It was fun and interesting to hear their creative description of what they thought it was. I heard everything from a …Continue Reading Here…
I was walking around outside yesterday and got real excited. It was overcast, damp and had that fall chill in the air. It reminded me of growing up and spending weekends in the mountains. Two years ago, Winter was actually cold and we had a …Continue Reading Here…
