Remove a Tree From My Driveway

Finding a tree across my driveway after an afternoon storm, right when I was headed out with a friend, was not what I expected for this evening. Since I can go nowhere, the only thing left to do is remove the tree so I will be able to get to the airport in the morning. Yes, I do have a chainsaw just for this purpose. I live in the woods.
I must add that I am very glad it didn't fall on my house. It did take out two other trees and a wonderful spruce tree that was once a Christmas tree and I had planted in my yard. At least I can get in and out of my house now and I got it off the driveway before dark. I have more work to do to remove the rest of the tree from the yard, but one good thing is that I have firewood for this winter now.

Promenade on The Tennessee River

Rivers call me to them. When I see a river I want to go to it, feel it, listen to it, be in it and a part of it, and go where it goes. As a child, I swam in many rivers and lakes in many different countries with my brothers and cousins. I still swim in them whenever I can. The rivers always seem to be going somewhere and that was what I loved about them. So, when I had the opportunity to see the Tennessee River, I greatly enjoyed stopping and being part of it for a few hours.
The Tennessee River flows through Chattanooga, Tennessee and meanders it's way down through Alabama and towards Mississippi before returning to Tennessee. It was also known as the Cherokee River and gets it's name from a Cherokee village called Tanasi.
I hope you enjoy my promenade on the Tennessee River and go meet a river near you soon.

Stroll Callaway Gardens

A visit to Callaway Gardens in Georgia will leave you as breathless with wonder as it did me. The flowers, nature, lakes and forests are spectacular. It really is a wonderful place to enjoy nature in all its wonder, throughout the year, but especially in the summer. Spending a day may not even be enough, but it sure will allow you to enjoy much of the natural gardens and enjoy the views. Wading through the shallows in  the lake will let you cool off your feet too.... unless you slip and fall in... in that case be sure your camera and phone are safely on the shore because you will get more than just your feet wet.

No, I didn't add the picture of me dripping lake water...... instead this is the bottom of the lake. It is lovely to dry off sitting in the sunshine by the grassy shore. Here is a link to the hours and directions if you are interested in visiting this beautiful place. http://www.callawaygardens.com/info/hours-directions.aspx

Capture Butterflies

I have never captured butterflies, and instead of a net, I used my camera to do so and that way they remain free to fly. I enjoyed taking photos of these beautiful creatures and hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
