Grow your own stuff, support your neighbors, shop local …
… photograph local.
Sometimes we forget there are plenty of beautiful picture spots
right in our own neighborhood because we think ‘landscape’
instead of beautiful ‘pocket spot’.
Unless the goal is to get a complete scenic spot for a specific purpose,
“look in your own backyard” and you’ll be surprised.
It’s beautiful there.
We’re in the middle of a drought right now … wild fires
burning near Chattanooga, Knoxville, Oak Ridge and the Smokies.
And since we can’t remember the last rain … it has been HOT all summer …
fall color was bound to be a little ‘ick’ this year.
Light and color was still available at Athens Regional Park.
The walking trail, two or three bridge areas, open field,
and (a little) running water yielded some great pocket spots.

one more thing to add to the “Why I Love My Small Town” list!
