Fall Creek Falls October 23, 2010

Saturday was the second trip I’ve taken to Fall Creek Falls.  Almost a year to the day of the last visit to see the leaves changing.  This year was sort of a mixed bag.  Only one of the primary falls had enough water.  Leaves were a bit more scarce in areas but just as colorful.  Overall, it was still a decent trip.  Below are the pictures from this year, below them is a link to last year’s.

Polly Crockett Days 2010 – Cowan, TN

It’s that time of year again for the Polly Crockett Days Festival in Cowan, Tennessee.  It was a lot hotter this year at the festival, but still a relatively good turnout.  They didn’t have a car show this year, nor did I see many antique engines like I did last year.  One person was back again with a hit-and-miss engine making ice cream.  One big new item this year was the Civil War Cannon Reenactments.  I took plenty of photos, as usual.  This set includes photos of one of the cannons firing.  They had two cannons, but from the top floor of the Cowan Train Museum I could only see one of them.  You can view the schedule of events here and browse my photos below.

2010 Dogwood Festival – Winchester, TN

These are pictures from the 2010 Dogwood Festival in Winchester, TN.  This includes two sets of images, one from during the day Saturday and another of Saturday nights bands.  The Last Straw opened for Foghat.  Foghat ended up performing an encore of Slow Ride that pretty much had the Winchester Square rocking.  There was a helicopter flyover just before Foghat came on.  Wished they would have done it during the performance of Slow Ride.
