I feel like I could reach out and touch the water. These are some of your best pics yet!
This looks like another great place to visit. You are starting to make me think I should come hang out in Georgia.
Mel...
I took these on Monday so they're still fresh!
JL...
I have been hanging out here for 35 years!
Richard,your Georgia natural scenery photos get more and more beautiful as time goes by. You have lots of talent my friend!!
Richard-You are on a roll. 2nd day in a row for 2 blogs. Enjoying them and appreciate you always taking the time to comment back to all your faithful readers. Must be you put that in your daily to do schedule. Duly noted, and appreciated greatly. Now we'll see if you can make a little room in that schedule of yours to be sure you visit my neck of the woods whenever I play in the rain :-)). After all I do believe it's the same distance from Va to Ga as it is from GA to Va. The best part you don't even have to leave the house just I'm just a couple clicks away. Just trying to keep your schedule balanced for you. :-))))). Sleep well and I'll stop by again. Until the mouse dies.
Richard, Makes me want to take the day off to go explore the park! Oh, will I need a coat? Thanks for sharing and greetings from Paradise.
GORGEOUS, gorgeous photos.
Many years ago, while living in Richmond, VA, I attended a photo shoot in Blairsville, GA...not sure where we were, exactly, but I will never forget the little diner where we ate our meals...it was a dry county at the time (may still be), much to the chagrin of the "big city" crew I had with me. It is beautiful country there, for sure, as we found out in later while living in Canton, GA. Who knew GA had such beautiful mountain country.
Gary...
Thanks. I really appreciate that. It's something that i really enjoy doing!
Pat...
Silly me, I can't tell if you're talking about a virtual visit or an actual one! lol
Greg...
October can be chilly in the A.M.!
Susan...
I have been to that eatery in the past but don't know if it's still there or not. You know, it may still be a dry county ... but one thing for certain is the mountains are STILL beautiful!
Richard - you have just added another entry on my places to go close to home list. It's a good thing the proce of gas is going down.
Richard,
Georgia has some very nice state parks that we have visited over the years. I was not aware of this one - will have to put it on the list. Thanks. :)
Steve
Mike...
It's a great day trip from Athens, and a world apart!
Steve...
It's one of our best!
Richard-You're a smart fella-I think you can figure it out. :-)))))). As you know I talk a lot but there is also a lot I don't say(good thing huh) but I definitely notice because I'm a deep thinker, so there are a lot of thoughts swirling around in this head that never see the light of this or any other blog. Maybe that's a good thing. I got to go comment on your newest creation. Talk to you later.
Richard- This is a beautiful park. Have you ever taken a smalll boat out on the lake? That would be a lot of fun I think. Maybe a peddle boat or canoe.
This sounds like a beautifu place to visit and have a GREAT mental health day.
