Providence Canyon is one of Georgia’s odder State Parks. Humans created it accidentally due to incredibly dumb and aggressive farming practices that kicked off a century of erosion.
But what’s ever crazier is that the erosion just keeps on going. Nature is slowly stablizing the soil, on the canyon floor, you walk in the softest, grainiest silt. It’s an experience.
These flowers looked like some sort of azalea that surprised me when we got to visit Seattle. These were throughout the Japanese gardens at Kubota Park.
Don Carter State Park is a relatively new State Park along the north side of Lake Lanier near Gainesville, Georgia….
Even though they aren’t all Longleaf anymore, I still love the expanse of Loblolly Pines in South Georgia.
Most years, I get to run either the full or the half marathon in Atlanta. It usually takes place early in the year, in late February or early March. It’s a great event with a great course, but it’s always funny just being part of such a giant crowd that is out to…run.
I always imagined the Okefenokee Swamp to be mostly dark, green, cypress forest. It’s not. It’s mostly open “prairie” covered in a couple feet of water. It’s beautiful, haunting, and full of life. But the lack of trees really gives a sense of how big the place is.
*like, sometimes I publish…a lot :O – though you can pick what categories you want.
Ahh…I see you’re up for some extra inconvenience. Some Type 2 Internet Fun, if you will. Well then! Follow me with your favorite Fediverse app or server (e.g., Threads, Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc).
