Falling in Love

“Falling in Love”
Judy Royal Glenn Photography

Angi, a gal from the Athens Photography Guild, hiked to Panther Creek Falls with me at the end of October. It was a long hike but well worth the trip.

When we got to the waterfall, a guy and girl were sitting on a large rock together. I thought it would be perfect to also photograph them.

After while, they got up and walked towards me. I wanted them to have the photograph if they wanted it, so I introduced myself and gave them my business card.

She was excited to get the photograph because he did not like his picture taken.

Whether or not they are falling in love is beside the point. I have no idea. My husband suggested the title, and even though it may seem cheesy, I think it is perfect.

Resolute

“Resolute”
Hemlock Falls Trail – Moccasin Creek

For the last four weekends, I have traveled to waterfalls in search of fall color. Because of the drought, there isn’t much water and the leaves look burnt and dull.

I made the best of my trip to Hemlock falls and photographed the shoals. I love hiking, being outside and enjoying nature.

How is the color where you live?

The Journey

"The Journey"
Judy Royal Glenn Photography

Photography to me is not limited to one particular subject I intend to photograph that day. It is whatever catches my eye, or runs, hops, or flies in front of me.
This particular day, my husband and I went hiking to waterfalls in North Georgia, so I could photograph them. But, there is always the journey to and from the waterfall too where I might encounter things I want to shoot.
The fungi on this tree, caught my eye, so I grabbed my micro lens and photographed it.

Plod

"Plod" 
Judy Royal Glenn Photography 
 
My family and I went on a short weekend trip in search of waterfalls and beautiful fall foliage.  We hiked to Frolictown Falls, and the highlight of that trip for me was finding this dragonfly.
 
When I first spotted him, he was exactly how you see him in the photo.  I took several photos, and he did not move an inch.  So, I got out my macro lenses and got real close and hoped he wouldn't fly away.  He never moved. 
 
I don't remember him being there when I first got there, so I don't think he was dead.  I had to stand in freezing water to ge the shot, and I accidently splashed water on him while moving about.
 
  I named the photo "Plod" because it was the opposite of "frolic" since we were at Frolictown Falls and he was not frolicking.
