Murray’s Lake is a small recreational lake in the Chattahoochee National Forest near the Conasauga River and near the Lake Conasauga Campground. It seems to be designed to be a recreation area similar to Lake Conasauga but I can’t find any documentation or funding plans for it. As it is, the trail is listed for decommissioning and the beavers and the animals are taking it over.
Cumberland Island is one of Georgia’s natural treasures. Most of the Georgia coast is protected, but Cumberland Island is not only *completely* protected, it’s also huge and intact.
Banana slugs are a hilariously adorable resident of the Pacific Northwest. On my trip to Olympic National Park and Redwood National Park. I was carefully looking for them in their perfect habitat. Never saw one. But then this guy shows up right at our door step in our cottage parking lot near Willow, California.
I get a lot of the rhododendrons mixed up but one easier(?) way for me to just to note when it’s flowering. This guy was a particularly hot pink along the trail.
These are photos of the Atlantic Center, one of the iconic skyscrapers in Atlanta. I love the architecture and location.
Atlanta is, curiously, the headwaters of two major river systems (Flint & Ocmulgee). The Flint starts underneath the airport runways. This spot is one source of Intrenchment Creek, which flows to the South River, to the Ocmulgee, to the Altamaha, to the Atlantic. It’s also a lovely spot to enjoy historic landscape architecture.
The Georgia Piedmont is filled with so many interesting outcrops. The most famous is Stone Mountain, but they are all up and down the middle part of Georgia.
*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).
I’m Nate Shivar from Atlanta, Georgia, USA. I love nature, public lands, books, and the old-school Internet.
