Columbus Botanical Garden

Hello?

Wait, who is this?

It’s me!

Who?

I know, I’ve been a little quiet lately.

A little? Try a lot!

Yeah… sometimes, the words don’t flow.

Flow? They weren’t uttered!

I get it, let it go.

Fine!

I think this post (The fungus among us) by Robin over at the breezes at dawn blog was still on my mind when I went to the botanical garden Sunday morning. I’m not generally looking for the fungi but these little buggers jumped out at me. Luckily, I was the only one there so early in the morning because I was crawling all over the lawn looking for the best angles… 🙂

The first three images are different angles of the same one. I was looking for the right background as well as a view to highlight the detail. In the first image the background is the grass, a bunch of flowers for the second and a bright tree for the last one. In the end I liked all three… lol

Only 90′ More to Go

Smith Mountain, Jackson’s Gap, Alabama

Yesterday was a treat! My friend Dawn, over at Change is Hard blog, is down at her family’s house on Lake Martin in Alabama. She invited me over and we had a great adventure. We have been online friends for a lot of years and this was our first meeting. It was such a great day!

You can visit Dawn’s post In between the raindrops to see a little of the lake and the deck of house where we enjoyed lunch and an afternoon watching the activity happening on the lake (geese, a coupe of guys on motorized paddle boards and a few boaters). This was after we went to Smith Mountain to hike the trail to the fire tower.

I now have a new place to explore! I will definitely be going back to capture the views from the top of the tower. I tried for a panoramic view of the lake from the top of the tower but in my excitement I failed to actually focus before capturing the 11 images. Another reason to return!

Don’t look too close at this one, not my best…
