Have Digital, Will Travel

You will probably get tired of pictures of the seasonal color around the Coosa River before I get tired of taking and posting them. I just can't get too much.

This is near my "secret spot" where I stop to eat a giant Granny Smith apple (thanks LaWanna) in the afternoon.

The picture below is intended to show you the white water barely viewable through the trees. This is the last section of shoals before reaching downtown Wetumpka. The rocks here are usually under water, but as the water level drops more rocks are exposed and the louder the roar of water becomes. Almost every day that I cross the bridge just south of these rocks I think about paddling out and composing a picture of "walking on the water". That would work when the water level was just right.




This huge cypress tree is maybe 5 feet in DIAMETER. Three people would have to stretch to reach around it and touch hands. I wonder how many years it has watched over this spot?
This is where I walked out on some rocks and took this picture looking back at the shoreline. You can see some of the cypress knees, but mostly I liked the streaks of sunlight.

And one last shot of a cypress on the shore with knees exposed.
