Supermoon 2018 – My friend Fran called me to ask me to go with her to Savannah Rapids early in the morning of the lunar eclipse to capture the beautiful large, bright, moon I arrived at her house at 5 am with my camera and tripod. I didn’t think it was going to be so cold but my car registered in the 20s. I was not dressed for the cold weather and had no hat or gloves (couldn’t because I needed my hands to hold tripod and 150-600 long lens). I captured some amazing images later in the morning when there were some semblances of light around the moon. Almost had frostbite on my hands, but luckily it all worked out and here are a couple of the best shots.
Savannah Rapids
I went to Savannah Rapids in late November to take some pictures of the Fall foliage. Around here (Augusta, GA) it is a rarity to find actual foliage but it was there. The Fall colors are never what they would be up North, but this day I got some nice shots.
Fall Foliage
Here are photos of the Fall Foliage taken at the Savannah Rapids Pavilion in Augusta, GA, Phinizy Swamp Nature Park, and where I live. It is such a beautiful time of the year for outside photos due to the riot of colors–red, gold, green. Fall happens at least a month later in the South.

Landscapes
These landscapes were taken in various locations in Augusta, Ga. Some of the others were taken on my trip to Naples, Fla, while visiting my grandson, Aaron. I intend to add lots more photos as I start my travels, which is one of my goals. Life is a journey and documenting it in photos is everlasting.
