Last week, I visited Big Trees Forest Preserve in Sandy Springs, Georgia. It’s a suburb of Atlanta. It has several short trails that are easy to walk. I went specifically to photograph the light penetrating through the deciduous forest in the early morning. It was a fun hike.

By the way, compared to Calaveras Big Trees State Park in California, the big trees here look like match sticks. But they are quite beautiful none the less.

Early morning light focused on a young tree against a large rock. If you look closely at the rock, it looks like a sleeping beast.

It’s nesting time. I managed to catch both a Carolina Chickadee and a Tufted Titmouse carrying nesting material into their chosen cavity.
