This beautiful 6-acre lake was hand dug by the 'Civilian Conservation Corp', in the 1930's! The CCC was designed to provide jobs for young men, to relieve families who had difficulty finding jobs during the Great Depression in the United States.
"The CCC operated under the army’s control. Camp commanders had disciplinary powers and corpsmen were required to address superiors as “sir.” By September 1935 over 500,000 young men had lived in CCC camps, most staying from six months to a year. The work focused on soil conservation and reforestation. Most important, the men planted millions of trees on land made barren from fires, natural erosion, or lumbering—in fact, the CCC was responsible for over half the reforestation, public and private, done in the nation’s history. Corpsmen also dug canals and ditches, built over thirty thousand wildlife shelters, stocked rivers and lakes with nearly a billion fish, restored historic battlefields, and cleared beaches and campgrounds"

I am definitely not a very good wildlife photographer by any stretch of the imagination, but, it was fun photographing the Cheaha State Park resident Screech Owl on our recent photography workshop. Thanks so much to Mandy Pearson and John Dersham for a fun filled day.
"A wise old owl sat in an oak. The more he saw, the less he spoke. The less he spoke, the more he heard. Why can't we be like that wise old bird?" ~ Edward Hersey Richards.
Typically I don't like to shoot downstream when doing long exposure shots because the effect is somewhat diminished, but this particular spot worked well.
