Bench in the Woods
Callaway Resort & Gardens
Landscape Art
Walking the trail near the Butterfly Center I came upon this bench. I had the macro lens still on the camera but I was able to get enough distance to make this image. I loved the weathered look, the light in the trees behind the bench and the leaf covered path. My first thought was to convert this image to look like a painting, or at least my version of a painting… 🙂

Autumn Colors
Lower Falls Creek Lake, Callaway Resort & Gardens
Toward the end of my visit at Callaway Gardens I headed to the Azalea Bowl in the hope of finding some floral subjects. There was only a slim chance but I knew my consolation would be to walk around Lower Falls Creek Lake. I’m a sucker for a good reflection.

Peaceful Morning
Callaway Resort & Gardens
Finally! I have been living in Georgia for a month now, and today was the first day I ventured out with my camera. Granted, it took a couple of weeks before I retrieved my equipment from my daughter, but that excuse only accounts for a portion of the time. I could attribute the delay to wanting to get everything unpacked and put away, but again, that is a weak excuse. I was just being lazy…
Twenty miles north of me in Pine Mountain is Callaway Resort & Gardens. This is a 2500 acre escape with hiking & bike trails, golf, and adventures for every season. Currently, the Pumpkins at Callaway event is in full swing with a corn maze, a giant pumpkin garden along with activities and events for everyone. I’m probably going back this week to experience it.
I spent four hours exploring today and barely scratched the surface of the place. I walked a few trails, visited the butterfly house and the azalea bowl (sadly, not many blossoms right now). I missed the birds of prey show (next time) and decided not to rent a bike (again, next time). When I stopped at the information center on my way into the resort, the very nice lady explained that I could upgrade my day ticket to a membership if I decided I would be returning.
Yep, on my way out I stopped and bought a membership. It includes 4 guest tickets, and I can go once to the seasonal events (which happens about six times a year). Considering I only need to go three more times to get my membership cost back, it was a no brainer for me. Now, where is that bike shop… I think it is time to get my own… 🙂
This was the first view I came across this morning. It was the start of a great day…

Zoomin’ In
Bellamy Harbor, Rome, NY
Saturday morning I finally got off my butt and headed out for the sunrise at Bellamy Harbor. There might not have been as many clouds in the sky as I would have preferred, but the colors were a beautiful consolation prize. These three images are from the same location all within a minute of each other, the only difference being the amount of zoom I used. There is a subtle shift in the colors as less of the blue sky is included in the view.

Nostalgia
Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World
I’m two weeks away from my next trip to Walt Disney World. This is typically when I start looking through old images and thinking about what I want to capture during my next visit. There has been a lot of news from Disney regarding the changes throughout the theme parks, with a lot happening in Walt Disney World. The Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island will be replaced by a Cars themed area. So, here is the Liberty Belle in all her glory, cruising through Frontierland…

Bellamy Harbor Park
It was a long week. We also had an EF-2 tornado slice its way through Rome. Thankfully, no casualties, but quite a lot of damage. The city will be recovering for quite a while, but to see how everyone comes together is very encouraging.
This morning was not a day to sit on my butt. I went to Bellamy Harbor Park for the colors of the morning before sunrise. I processed this one quickly to be able to show it off…
