Here are some views of our Monday afternoon at a waterfall near Dahlonega, GA. The trail crossed over the creek here. Isn't it beautiful? And we noticed a grapevine swing along the trail so Vernon showed me how it worked.
Another view of the creek and woods. Vernon likes walking along creeks like this. If you double-click on any of these pictures, you'll be able to see them better.
This is the view from the top of the falls where we stood on a bridge over the water.
Here are the trees along the water at the top.
At the visitor's center we noticed some Gulf Frittilary butterflies.
We were sorta tired by the end of the day and as I took a photo of us, he kept his eyes closed.
For the next picture, I closed my eyes, too. Someone passing by offered to take our picture for us and I burst out laughing when Vernon replied, "This is the blind tour."
Here's another branch of a tree that has red leaves while the rest of it is still green.
There is a beautiful place to stay called Amicalola Lodge. We entered to look around but didn't try to stay there. Maybe another time.
There is a three story sitting room. I'm looking down on the huge fireplace from the upper level.
This wall of windows allows afternoon sun to warm the room. I imagine it would be nice to view sunset here, too, but we didn't stay for that.
We ended last Monday in Helen, GA, and the next entry will share some of that story with you.
