October is always a busy month as the leaf change hits full swing in North Georgia, but by the start of November we trim down our travel and concentrate on the area just north of Atlanta. In fact, sometimes Pam and I don't have to travel very far. I took this photo of a tree in our back yard this morning. While the surrounding trees are past peak, this guy looked stunning in the early morning light, brilliantly reflecting sunlight right into the camera. We hit a number of our favorite stops this year, from Brasstown Bald to Blood Mountain to the Rocktown Trail.
One of our articles in About North Georgia will be about the Gorilla Haven in Fannin County on Paris Mountain. We are excited about the work these folks are doing, giving homes to, well, gorillas here in North Georgia. One final tour is available on November 28, 2009, and according to the web site, it has not filled up yet. If you love gorillas (and who doesn't), you can give to the Gorilla Haven on line! If you have a blog, or even better a Facebook page, why not help them out and add a blurb for this wonderful cause.
