The Honeymoon – Playing with Panorama
LARGE IMAGE WARNING! Expect longer than normal load times.
For our honeymoon we spent a week in North Georgia exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains near Elijay GA. We’d found a cozy little cabin deep in the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest on the lower slopes of Wolfpen Mountain. Our adventures were many and I’ll provide greater detail of them and the places we visited in the week ahead. For now, We’d like to share a collection of images from the journey!

These were the leading factors in our decision to get …
River Creek, A Storied Past and a Hopeful Future

Despite the curiosity, we delayed visiting Rivercreek, in much the same way as we avoided Chickasawhatchee WMA. Since our initial strategy for selecting WMAs had been to visit those farther from …
River Creek Roundup – Pollinator Pics
These photos are from our initial visit to River Creek, The Rolf and Alexandra Kauka WMA. Rebecca and I drove down to the old plantation outside of Thomasville, arriving just before dawn.
