Bare trees line Little River

About Little River:
... The Little River has been slicing through sandstone for thousands of years, creating a canyon with depths of 600 feet ....

... Tucked away in the northeast corner of Alabama near the Georgia border, Little River Canyon is an isolated oasis carved into a mountain. During the spring runoff, a handful of daredevil kayakers descend the canyon's steep walls into a cauldron of class V whitewater ...

Dry

The same bare tree - without a leaf even in summer ...

Reflection

Mallard town council ... wonder what mallards discuss when they get together!

Oblivious

Living on the edge

Winter?

A completely bare tree in the middle of summer - dunno why, hope to go back and find out!

Serene

The Canadian goose came into the frame at just the right moment

Waterfowl

Waterfowl abound at Edgewater, especially Canadian geese and Mallards.

Morning Glow

Early morning glow at Edgewater .....

More on the morning sun

Edgewater has a ghostly look as the sun rises as a pink ball over a morning fog covered Lady Ann Lake.


A few minutes later, it doesn't look as creepy, does it?

Today's sunrise - it was a very hazy and cloudy day. Normally, sunrise from behind the mountain looks really cool. i need to try my luck again on a clear morning.
