Saturday in the park

We took a little jaunt to Piedmont park today to visit with Cousin Joe. We had a great time and got to play with the camera we've had for a a year that neither one of us has quite figured out yet. Needless to say we got some pretty good pictures. I went for a hike bright and early this morning to Sweetwater Creek State Park (only about 20 minutes from us downtown) and also got some pretty good photos. The trail actually contains the ruins of a mill that was built in 1840 and destroyed during the burning of Atlanta during the Civil War. Pretty interesting and the photos do it a good amount of justice. Enjoy!

Olivia being silly



Hmm look like anyone else you know when annoyed?



Pearce with Joe - He was restricted to holding Pearce due to his awful outfit

Sweetwater creek - we've had some flooding again so the creek was more like a river

Ruins of the New Manchester mill

The trail to the ruins






A duck I saw on the docks. I decided to experiment with the camera settings on this one.
