We stopped at Callaway Gardens for a few hours to walk around and for lunch. I have seen places where one can feed the birds or feed the fish, but at Callaway they have feed the turtles. I think that there were two dozen turtles lurking about.

After taking pictures of the Holly House Bed and Breakfast Saturday, our wonderful hostess, Judy Archibald, took us, a few of her friends, and one of her daughters for an elaborate picnic at Callaway Gardens, where the Columbus Symphony Orchestra performed. The food, the music, and the company could not have been better.
Returning to the bed and breakfast, we said that a simple breakfast is what we wanted. The first two pictures are of the breakfast. Judy cooked a Cracker Barrel potato hash brown recipe, which was lined in the bottom of the bowl, scramble eggs, bacon strips, and an adorable 'bird shaped' croissant on top. There was a side dish of the bacon and croissants, a fruit cup, orange juice, and coffee.
Click on the next picture for a better view of the pastry bird.
The following pictures are of the Holly Room, in which we stayed.

Linda and I are at the Holly House in Hamilton, GA. I am taking pictures for their new website, which is in the process of being built.
This photo was a bonus.

We went to Gibbs Gardens after church yesterday for lunch and to enjoy the gardens. It is about ten miles from our home and having a Season Pass ($50.00 each) makes it great for a quick getaway.
Only one picture today, but I will post more, hopefully, by tomorrow. This picture is of the Monet Bridge, an exact replica, the Lily Pond, and with some of the many Red Maples, of which I was told that there are thousand and that the springtime, as well as the fall, are great times for viewing.
Remember to click on the photo to enlarge it.
Here are added pictures from yesterday. I have taken this brook a number of times and never cease to enjoy it. The picture that follows is from a different angle.
The Water Lillies are beginning to blossom.
This is a Chinese Snowball Viburnum.
The next picture is a variety of Rhododendron and then an Azalea.

When we went to Callaway Gardens a few weeks ago and stayed at a Bread and Breakfast, The Holly House, in Hamilton, GA. I think that it is the best that we have ever stayed.
Aside from the three bedrooms show, which are on the first floor, there are two more large bedrooms upstairs. Not pictured are the two sitting rooms, a game room, with a pool table, kitchen, and two porches. There is a walking trail at the rear of the property, which we did not have time to use.

Predictions of rain and thunder storms proved to be incorrect and the sun did not disappoint. We went to Roswell, GA, which 30-40 minutes away to walk the Chattahoochee River trails. It is an historical location of industrial mill in the 1800s.
I am sure that the dam provided power to the mills. The first two pictures are from side angles and the third is from the river bank above the dam.
The last picture is of the covered bridge that is over the river.
History, exercise, and a relaxing day rolled into one. I want to return in the Fall to compare these springtime shots with those of the Fall foliage.
Why the color of the water? It is a muddy river. Why do you think that there is not Chattahoochee River Bottling Company?
