We went to North Georgia again except this time we took Bobby's parents. We had a blast! We camped at Red Top Mountain near Atlanta for the first leg. We took Bobby's parents to Lookout Mountain while we were there. Bobby's mother had never seen or been on a mountain or seen a waterfall or a babblin' brook. I took my camera of course! I even shot my entire vacation in RAW format and I'm still processing the photos! I took so many.<br />From Red Top we went to Unicoi State Park in Helen, Georgia. Cute little city! Its sort of like St. George Street in St. Augustine but with a German feel to it. While there we went to Brasstown Bald, the highest point in Georgia. Then we went into North Carolina just to say we'd been there and from there we went to Black Rock Mountain State Park. We didn't camp there. Its such a steep grade to get there, plus its the highest state park in Georgia. Then we went back to the camper. The next day just Bobby and I went to Anna Ruby Falls. Its a steep trail (1/2 mile long uphill!).<br />Took lotsa pics, but was really winded by the time we got there! Glad to know it was downhill all the way back! After Unicoi our last leg of the trip was to Elijah Clark State Park. We went to Watson Mill Bridge State Park. One of the covered bridges in Georgia. There are no screws or bolts holding this bridge together. Its made entirely of wood and held together with wooden pegs. It creaks and moans when anything drives over it. Rather unnerving if you ask me. We finally came home on the 3rd of January. It was a fun trip but we were glad to be home!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a title="Our Rig by Snorkie*, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/snorkie85/3170994912/"><img height="335" alt="Our Rig" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1005/3170994912_b14b8dc98b.jpg" width="500" /></a><br /><br /><a title="See Rock City Birdhouse by Snorkie*, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/snorkie85/3166747080/"><img height="161" alt="See Rock City Birdhouse" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3268/3166747080_18b1d6a6b9_m.jpg" width="240" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Brasstown Bald by Snorkie*, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/snorkie85/3153119527/"><img height="161" alt="Brasstown Bald" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3114/3153119527_b1b93e7af9_m.jpg" width="240" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Black Rock State Park Overlook by Snorkie*, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/snorkie85/3166536639/"><img height="240" alt="Black Rock State Park Overlook" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1027/3166536639_e35b367267_m.jpg" width="226" /></a><br /><br /><a title="Watson Mill Bridge by Snorkie*, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/snorkie85/3179484769/"><img height="161" alt="Watson Mill Bridge" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3385/3179484769_e77a9d5fc1_m.jpg" width="240" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a title="Elijah Clark State Park by Snorkie*, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/snorkie85/3165492904/"><img height="161" alt="Elijah Clark State Park" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3098/3165492904_33d607ed6d_m.jpg" width="240" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3577942757097589917-4684475414131883148?l=kimi-cameraseye.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10384492285329548335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577942757097589917.post-85360477746273250632008-11-14T18:55:00.000-08:002008-11-14T18:58:17.255-08:00Hiya! Its been awhile since my last post. I'm really excited. I won 3 blue ribbons and one second place ribbon for my photos that I entered this year. I'm also excited that another one of my photos is going to be published in a Florida text book as well. Things are looking up!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3577942757097589917-8536047774627325063?l=kimi-cameraseye.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10384492285329548335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577942757097589917.post-69114876299341070972008-07-09T07:15:00.000-07:002009-01-09T05:44:44.922-08:00Sorry its been awhile. Jax Field Trips,a new group to Flickr,had its first outing at Hanna Park last month. Met a few more members from the Jacksonville, FL Flickr group. We had a blast and got many shots. This month I can't wait till July 20th. We'll be going to the Alligator Farm in St. Augustine. I have lived in Jax, FL all my life and never have been there. So, I'm really looking forward to going!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/snorkie85/2601110481/" title="Silhoulette by Snorkie*, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3243/2601110481_74676bdd15_m.jpg" width="240" height="127" alt="Silhoulette" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/snorkie85/2598942302/" title="Remember the Cell Phone Commercial? by Snorkie*, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3156/2598942302_b268e78127.jpg" width="500" height="324" alt="Remember the Cell Phone Commercial?" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/snorkie85/2598942016/" title="Heron by Snorkie*, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3043/2598942016_008dbf45a0_m.jpg" width="178" height="240" alt="Heron" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3577942757097589917-6911487629934107097?l=kimi-cameraseye.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10384492285329548335noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577942757097589917.post-18172333235066851572008-06-02T06:28:00.000-07:002008-06-17T08:15:28.700-07:00Had a blast Saturday. Some of the members from the Jacksonville, Florida Flickr Group got together at Mayport Village. All of us (My hubby Bob, Ric, Carol, Hugo, Norman, Maritza & Velia -And lets not forget Soledad and Scooby!) took some fabulous pictures.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/snorkie85/2543319446/" title="Ferry Ride by snorkie85, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3131/2543319446_8438397564_m.jpg" width="161" height="240" alt="Ferry Ride" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3196/2540052644_e137e03372_m.jpg" width="240" height="161" alt="What Would You Do For The Perfect Shot" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/snorkie85/2539229875/" title="I Thought You Said No Flowers! by snorkie85, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2237/2539229875_7056682491_m.jpg" width="200" height="240" alt="I Thought You Said No Flowers!" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/snorkie85/2540051560/" title="Daddy-Oh! by snorkie85, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2417/2540051560_2ddc4c6c5f_m.jpg" width="161" height="240" alt="Daddy-Oh!" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/snorkie85/2540051310/" title="Carol and Norman by snorkie85, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3263/2540051310_42db01d421_m.jpg" width="232" height="240" alt="Carol and Norman" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/snorkie85/2540052644/" title="What Would You Do For The Perfect Shot by snorkie85, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3196/2540052644_e137e03372_m.jpg" width="240" height="161" alt="What Would You Do For The Perfect Shot" /></a><br /><br />Had Fun Guys!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3577942757097589917-1817233323506685157?l=kimi-cameraseye.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10384492285329548335noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577942757097589917.post-34221918914894279442008-05-23T03:41:00.000-07:002008-05-23T03:51:14.003-07:00My husband and I traveled out to Alpine Groves Friday the 17th. We thought the rains would hold out. Instead, the rains followed us all the way. It was a total wash out for us. Afterwards,we found out the sun had actually came out after the rain. Oh Well! A couple of people from the Jacksonville, Florida Flickr Group got some sensational shots.<br /><br />We tried again Saturday with more people from the Flickr Group. I think I got a few nice shots. I do love a sunset! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/snorkie85/2501059872/" title="SunSetting by snorkie85, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3042/2501059872_8eb69ac001.jpg" width="500" height="335" alt="SunSetting" /></a><br /><br />I had a lot of fun taking pictures with the group.

Last year, I think I only entered two. But, I managed to win "Best Night Shot" and "Best in Show". The entry was a shot with my newest camera at the time. A HP-935. It was an Amtrak train. The train itself was a total blur, but the Amtrak logo was clear as day. This year I won in two categories, but not "Best in Show". I didn't expect to anyway. I don't think it would be right. But, I entered in the categories of "Best Night Shot", <strong>"Best CSX Engine", and "Best Foreign Power".</strong><br />I won first place in the latter two categories.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3577942757097589917-9172797563686043175?l=kimi-cameraseye.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10384492285329548335noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577942757097589917.post-67574231351539821772008-04-06T09:07:00.001-07:002008-04-06T09:08:54.944-07:00Hiya!
