Well, another weekend is gone nearly as fast as this evening’s dinner. Well both were quite good. Friday evening I went for a TreeWalk with my mother along the Hooch near Riverside Park in Roswell. A short way into our walk, I happened to notice a large snapping turtle on the side of the walk at the edge of the brush. She was about 12-13 inches from the front to back of her shell. As we approached I realized that she was digging a nest for her eggs.

1 CommentI just have to take a moment to talk about this new site and my new hosting company. I had been using 1and1.com for the past year or two and have been generally pleased (not excited) by their offerings. I hadn’t needed their actual customer service until the past few weeks. Let’s just say, I was less than thrilled with the vague semblance of ‘service’ that I received. I was at the point of getting my new site up and running under a new name (previously located at www.da-graphicdesign.com) and a decision now had to be made. Do I want to stay with this host or change to another?

I am frequently asked what a tree walker is and what TreeWalker Designs is.
Well, simply put, a tree walker is someone who takes part in walking in areas that have trees, i.e. nature walks, hiking, mountain climbing, etc. I am, therefore, a tree walker. TreeWalker designs is my freelance graphic design business. I treewalk for fun and inspiration and I design as a profession and a passion.

April 28th. I visited the Sweetwater Creek State Park for a good TreeWalking time and to take some photos. My last trip here, last year, was somewhat disappointing as we were in the midst of a drought and the creek was hardly more than a gurgle. But this time was a vast improvement, we have gotten a good amount of rain in the past couple of months and the creek was quite a bit more lively and interesting. I love to photograph water, especially moving water. There are several trails that run through the area – some more difficult than others, but none more than moderately difficult. I began on the Red trail which runs along the creek and is mostly easy to moderately difficult and runs about 1.5 miles. The Red trail ends at the White trail where it gets a bit more difficult, a fairly steep climb (mostly stairs) gets you from one trail to the other. After the initial roughness, it gets rather easy to navigate. The White trail is about 3.5 -4 miles long and winds through the woods, past a couple of feeder creeks, over several hills and a nice meadow. This was a great opportunity for me to try out some HDR photography techniques (my first attempts). While they aren’ t the most interesting, or technically good, they were nonetheless fun to make.
