Stone Mountain Meanderings

One with fish

A man and his fish
   … is what it is.
(Or, maybe it's not.)

Easter Family

I asked, and they gave.
Stood proudly, the happy family.
The little one in pink sang, "Happy Easter."
The one in the backpack, not so sure.

No Reverse

     The Crew: a familiar sight on the Lake. It's an eight-person racing shell, long and sleek, propelled ahead and out-of-sight with beautifully orchestrated and timely coordinated oar strokes.
     But, what happens at the end of the run.  With no reverse the shell must turn around somehow, without mishap.  Easy to say.  Here, the Crew receives instructions and practices the slow delicate maneuver, to the delight of nearby fishermen and photographer.

Sounds abound

Creaking from the old mill wheel
Splashing from the cascade
Directions from the photographer
What do they hear
But sounds of the embrace.

Steam no more

     The petite Scarlet O'Hara paddles leisurely about the Lake on a bright December morn in 2005.  Today, she can be found in a small cozy dock retired from service and completely beyond public view. (Still wondering why, I suppose.)  In 1976, they built her right here in the Park, a striking work of heritage art.
