Our sub-division photo club disbanded and I found a club in Forsyth County. Each month, there is a 'Photo Challenge" and for the next meeting the topic is RED. Only one photo can be submitted and it has to be taken within the past two years.
I prefer current picture, which is the challenge and I will be looking to do that, however, I did look at some photos that were taken last year and if you to choose just one to enter, which would it be?
It is best to click on picture once to enlarge it and it will show the colors better.

We went to Amicalola Falls Saturday afternoon with friends and were surprised to find that quite a number of people had the same idea, considering that there was pack snow/ice on the road where the threes hindered the sun from melting the snow.
Definitely not as beautiful as other times of the year when there is foliage but, non the less, is can be found. It was sunny, the sky was as blue as the photos reveal, and the temperature was cold... 28 degrees. When we were on the bridge below the falls, the wind was of no effect, but when we were at the top of the fall... WOW! It had an effect.
There are two, actually three trails to the falls. The first two pictures are of the West Trail, which is accessible by driving up to the side of the falls, parking, and taking a comfortable walk to the falls. The second is to walk up to the falls from the bottom, and the third, which has no picture, is to walk down to the falls from the top. There are 425 steps down and then back up on this trail. Guess which trail we took.

Happy New Year!
It is amazing what will happen when snow is in the forecast. Cancellations, cancellations, and more cancellations. Grocery shelves are ravished, businesses are closed, and everyone is one the road trying to get home, Traffic is snarled.
The only reason that I like it is because it changes the scenery. I love snow... in photographs. Speaking of which, here are a few pictures taken around our home this morning. Did I tell you that the temperature was 22 degrees?
