Transient leaves change colors, fade, fall, and die.
Enduring tree trunks stand exposed, erect, and live again.

We have had lots or rain recently so the rivers are swollen. This really made Freeman’s Mill a nice place to photograph. The water had been much higher, but this afternoon it was down to where the falls are visible and I could climb down to the ground to shoot it.

If you visit Las Vegas, you will want to visit the Valley of Fire. It is about an hour away in Valley of Fire State Park, 29450 Valley of Fire Road, Overton, NV 89040.
This set of images shows just a few of the many red sandstone formations in the park. There were others, but during our visit the temperature was around over 106 degrees, so we decided not to visit of the formations that required hiking.
Another place beautiful place to see red sandstone formations is Red Rock Canyon which is located at 3205 NV-159, Las Vegas, NV 89161
This old grist mill was moved to Stone Mountain Park from Ellijay, GA in 1965. It is a popular place for visitors to the Park.

“Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe . . .”
Sometimes I seek to make photographs that are powerful because of their symbolism. Here the juxtaposition of a worshiper and the draped cross with a crown of thorns spoke volumes to me. I lifted my camera, captured the message, and was moved deeply. My camera and I had portrayed the story of salvation.
The sunset colors in Chattanooga, Tennessee were dimmed by the overcast sky, but the lights from other sources made the waters of the Tennessee River shimmer as the sun slipped below the horizon.
It is a challenge to shoot from the Walnut Street Bridge because even though you have your camera locked down, joggers that pass by make the bridge vibrate for what seems like an eternity when time and light is at a premium.
