Our field trip to the Smith-Gilbert Gardens
in Kennesaw, GA was on a cool but sunny day. It seemed that Jim knew it was going
to be a good day when he proposed that date and location several months ago. The
days before and after would not have been to our liking.
Jim, Chris and I met on the parking lot, paid
the entry fee and started shooting. Later on, Don and his wife Vivian met up
with us and we all did our thing. The Gardens are nice and well kept with many
of the early flowers blooming giving the Garden lots of colors enticing us to
get closer to the blooms.
It was not before I collected the images for the
slide show above that I realized how different we all are when it comes to
photography. I am still waiting for 3 images from Jim but here is a breakdown
so far:
Chris Handley submitted 3
landscape images
Don Stephens contributed 3
Flower close ups
and I, BG, had more fun with 3 close-up scenes.
Around noon we gathered our
gear and went to Chili’s Grill to replenish the calories that we burned up that
morning. It was a very nice field trip and we now got to think about the next
one coming up, which is going to be much different.
Al has invited us for 3 days
to the GHSA Boys State Track Meet. The dates are May 8 to 10 in Jefferson, GA. This is a sports event and Al
can get us very close to the individual happenings. If you are interested, give
Al a call to get his time schedule and instructions (you find his phone number
under field trips #3 on this web site). More track info and details on www.ghsa.net/track-and-field
