Celebrating Halloween in Piedmont Park

The hula-hoopers and musicians are there most Saturdays, but these spooky danse-macabre puppeteers also arrived on the scene when I happened to be wandering the farmers' market.

Watkins Mill Bridge - Georgia

Watkins Mill State Park lies about 20 miles east of Athens near Comer. The Watkins Mill Bridge was built in 1885, and, with a span of 229 feet, is the longest covered bridge in Georgia.


Georgia once had over 200 covered bridges - today there are less than 20. This bridge is also notable because it was designed and constructed by Washington (W.W.) King, son of freed slave and famous covered-bridge builder Horace King.

Georgia Backroads

I love driving and cycling the backroads of Georgia. Recently I've been exploring the countryside near Athens.
