Trees fall all the time in the forest, though this tree fell into a Fern patch, and has given it a unique look in the Ultraviolet and Infrared spectrums. The tree looks old and its been down for awhile now, and the Ferns dont seem to mind. Probably m...

Friends on a canoe

It took some timing and a few failed attempts to get us all together. We all stay busy so finding a day to take off and go out on the water took some planning. But eventually we each found the time and left the house before the sun came up to go out...

Lookout Mountain at the Georgia / Tennessee border can be a bit confusing to visit if you are not from the area. I stopped at the first place I came to driving up the mountain, Ruby Falls, and asked someone who worked there, "Where's the Lookout Poin...
