| Crazy lady messing up Richard's photo again! |
We hope to climb Panola Mountain this Saturday. (It is not a really a mountain but a monadnock like Arabia Mountain and Stone Mountain.) Panola Mountain is a National Landmark. It is a protected area and you are only allowed on the mountain trail accompanied by a guide. Dogs and bikes are not allowed on the trails so as to protect the plant life. You may read about it here. There are trails around the mountain and we very much enjoyed them on November 25th. The rock outcrop trail passes through some fantastic hardwoods and the sound of the leaves falling as we walked made this a very pleasant walk indeed. It was magical. Once you pass the trees, they come out upon an outcrop overlooking a mass of granite, and in the distance you can see one of our favorite places that we love to visit...
Stone Mountain! It made us so happy to see Stone Mountain! And once we walked these trails, we got in the car and drove a few miles down Alexander Lake Road and went to...Alexander Lake! That is the lake that Richard has in my header photo. The short drive was also very nice, with some beautiful color on the trees. After Saturday, we should have some more photos of Panola Mountain itself! Hope you liked this autumnal walk with us.
What beautiful trails and absolutely gorgeous scenery. Love it- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThanks, Diana! We love it too.
DeleteIt is such a beautiful area, and I am glad you never forget to let us accompany you on the lovely walks you go on! Thanks also to Richard for the great pictures he takes :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed your walk with us again! :-)

ReplyDeleteThis is a good blog for "people knowledge" though.
DeleteLovely, it makes me miss the stunning scenery you find in the USA. We have pretty places here but not on the same scale as you guys do! :) x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your comment, Sam! Can't wait for that gorgeous snowflake!
DeleteDon't even get me started on how much I love England too, I just will never shut-up! :-)
It is such a beautiful area, and the autumn colours look fantastic against the blue sky.
ReplyDeleteOur autumn colors have been fantastic! And they seem to have lasted a long time this year.
DeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you! And you should recognize the crazy lady remark!

ReplyDeleteThese are very lovely photographs! It's been a long time since my husband and I have been on a nature walk. I'll be glad when I'm feeling better, so I can enjoy nature walks again. They are very therapeutic. Sounds like you and your husband had a wonderful day. :)
ReplyDeleteDear Mara,
DeleteI really hope that you will be better very soon and able to go on beautiful walks. In the meantime, you are always welcome to come on our "walks". In fact, you are very welcome to go back on my blog and see all the posts on Arabia Mountain and Stone Mountain. The yellow daisies in September were astounding!
We will climb Panola Mountain tomorrow!
God bless you and keep you.
Love,
KAY So happy you are still blogging! :-)

ReplyDeleteWell, i think the "not at all crazy" lady just adds a splash of color!;)
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos, you make me wish to live near mountains (or monadnock, if you prefer). Everything here is below sea level and flat as a pancake.
HAHA, Mimi! I am one colorful character!
DeleteThe monadnocks really do rise suddenly up from a landscape that is just gently rolling hills. This means, that not too many people really even know that these exist! They have heard of them, but have never seen them, even people who have lived in this county for all their lives.

ReplyDeleteKay, don't let these spam comments discourage you - I get plenty of that, but they all arrive under "spam", and I simply delete them.
DeleteMeike, you are reading my mind! Honestly, I have never had anything like this. It must be my Christmas cartoon & poem post from last year, it is now over 1200 views!
DeleteHa ha -- "Crazy lady messing up Richard's photo again" -- My Rare One makes me stand in her photos all the time to cover anything she doesn't want to be in the shot. Yes, I'm used as camouflage.
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I better notice what Richard tells me to stand in front of, maybe he is doing the same! :-)
DeleteCamouflage. You are so funny.
Hello Kay,
ReplyDeleteLooks idyllic, really feel the fresh air! Have a wonderful weekend!
Ivan
Hey Ivan!
DeleteOh, it is so beautiful and we love to walk on these trails so much.
Hope you have a great time too!
What beautiful colors and leaves. Panola Mountain ~ I have not heard of that place before but I love seeing Stone Mountain in the distance! We've been insanely busy shopping for birthday, Hanukkah, and Christmas presents today. Ugh, it's exhausting!
ReplyDeleteDear Audrey,
DeleteOh, just enjoy it, every bit of it! Your little girls won'd be little forever!! xx
Hahaha...well, that 'crazy lady' actually adds interest to the photos. When you add a person to images, they are that much more appealing.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, Kay. And I love that header. Such a gorgeous lake. It must be so nice to hang around there.
Oh, yes, I know they tell you to have a person in a photo, it's just better if that person is not ME!
DeleteAnd that lake! I was so happy to see that Richard got the clouds so perfectly reflected in the lake. It was a lovely day.
I agree with Martha that people in photos can add interest. I love to see where friends in Blogland live through their eyes and its a bonus when it's as beautiful as where you are.
ReplyDeleteI still need to post the photos from Nov. 18th from Arabia Mountain, I just looked at them and the color! It is a beautiful place for those who take the time to really see it.
DeleteAnd if you want to see some good photos, check out Martha's blog. She is from Canada and she lives in a gorgeous area and is a great photographer!
Kay, our Fall colors are but a distant memory. Thank you so much for sharing yours.
ReplyDeleteOh, but you have those big colorful sunsets! :-)
