See Rock City

In my post Cloudland Canyon Georgia I told you that I would show you nearby places to visit.

You just cannot visit the area and not See Rock City. I won't go into the history of this beautiful place... just got to their website and you'll find out a lot about See Rock City.

As you enter the garden you come upon this sign encouraging you to do no harm to Rock City.

For some reason I did not take pictures of the garden. It was beautiful to walk through. While there they were others visiting and they basically just ran through Rock City. Frank and I savored it. I would love to go back and I would take a few hundred pictures and not just the few I took.

The Sony f717 digital camera that these pictures were taken with was my first digital camera. Before that I used a Canon Sure Shot. I felt guilty wasting film and money... so a digital camera was a good choice for me in learning how to be a photographer. I have a lot to learn still... a very big lot.

White Fallow Deer

They are beautiful deer. I had a hard time catching one in the sun light.

Swing- A Long Bridge

A suspension bridge that is fun to walk across... unless you tend to get sea sick ;-)

See Seven States

This is at the top of Rock City. It is gorgeous up there.

Mother Goose Village - Ding Dong Bell

Ding dong bell
Pussy's in the well
Who put her in?
Little Johnny Flynn
Who pulled her out?
Little Tommy Stout
What a naughty boy was that
Try to drown poor Pussycat,
Who ne'er did any harm
But killed all the mice
In the Farmer's barn!



Mother Goose Village - Little Boy Blue

Little Boy Blue come blow your horn,
The sheep's in the meadow the cow's in the corn.
But where's the boy who looks after the sheep?
He's under a haystack fast asleep.
Will you wake him? No, not I - for if I do, he's sure to cry.

Mother Goose Village had many more nursery rhymes and I thought was really neat.

Rock City from the road below

There was a small meadow between the road and Rock City. Frank and I walked out into it and snapped some pictures.. I did put my telephoto lens on, but it didn't zoom in quite enough as I wanted... so I took the picture to my digital dark room and cropped it.

I will post about more areas that are a day trip from Cloudland Canyon State Park.
