Being on the highest point in Alabama (2407 ft.) was pretty cool. One of these days I'm going to go back so I can actually enjoy the view that's supposed to be so good from up there. :-)

Here's one from the upper most section of High falls in the talladega national forest. If its not overcast this spot is very difficult to shoot until the very last rays of sunlight have sank below the horizon. Or, just go early!

Ok actually its cheaha creek above lake chinabee, but I find it to be a generous giver when it comes to photo ops. Alot of shot possiblities all along this little creek.
Oh yes these Alabama Squirrels ate strawberries. I couldn't get my Georgia squirrels to eat strawberries.

The Alabama department of conservation publishes a magazine called Outdoor Alabama.Each year they have a photo contest The contest is divided into ten different categories and you are allowed to enter ten photos,you can enter ten in the same category or you can choose to split them up and enter some in whatever categories you choose.I learned about this contest from someone who commented on one of my photos here on flickr.
This is the only one I entered in the state parks category,I submitted mostly bird photos but I did enter a few other than birds.In my opinion this was the weakest photo out of all that I submitted.
I was pleasantly surprised to be notified that this photo placed 3rd in the state parks division.
All photos that placed from 1st to 3rd and honorable mention will be published in the February edition as well as the online version.The online version is supposed to be posted on February the 2nd. the web address is www.outdooralabama.com
just in case any of my flickr friends would like to check it out.
I finally made it to Cheaha Falls today. Part of the reason I hadn't made it is that I wasn't exacly sure how to get here without hiking 4 miles from Devil's Den Falls. I found the trail from the other end and we walked out today. Glad I finally walked out there today. It was a nice day for a walk in the woods.
At the base of Cheaha Mountain in Talladega County,Alabama USA. Cheaha is one of the final segments of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Elevation is 2413 feet at the highest point.
Please see the next shot also,thanks !
I was rained out this afternoon at work, so I took the opportunity to sneak out to Cheaha and try to shoot some fall color. This will likely be my last chance to get good color this season so I gave it a go.( made explore)
I decided to stop by High Falls on my way to Salt Creek Falls so that at least I didnt come back empty handed. I love this place and I had it ALL to myself. Guess it pays to go on a weekday.
My favorite Psalm about trees and creation, Psalm 96:
11 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
let the sea resound, and all that is in it.
12 Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.
13 Let all creation rejoice before the LORD, for he comes,
he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
and the peoples in his faithfulness.
