Default Messing with Mother Nature

Yesterday, my wife and I went to North Georgia to enjoy a quiet
Thanksgiving Day in the mountains.

We visited a beautiful waterfall, Minnehaha Falls, off of the beaten
path. It was about a 5 miles drive on a one lane dirt/gravel road so it
really was quiet and secluded, especially on Thanksgiving.

Of course, I had to screw around with mother nature. Absolutely NONE of
my photos come close to the way it looked in real life.

This is the way it looks in real life:

This slide show shows how an amateur can screw up perfection:

Yep, yo' sure screwed them up really good, Reg!


Happy Thanksgiving!


I tried.

We also had a great Thanksgiving Dinner in a tiny 100 yr old General
Store that someone had converted to a 1st class restaurant. We just
happened to drive by at 12:45 and they had a table for two available at
1:00. Most of the restaurants open for Thanksgiving, had been booked
for months. This one was a last minute cancellation and was the only
table they had available for the day. Mother Nature was looking out for
us, even though I was messing with her work.

At the waterfall, our two dogs had a ball running in the water and mud
pretending they were puppies.

All in all, a really good day.
