A Walk in the Woods

A Walk in the Woods by Charlie Doggett is my last photo book made while still living in Tennessee, nature photos from all 54 State Parks at that time, 2014.  CLICK the linked title above for a free preview of the photo book, all pages! I think it is pretty good if I do say so myself!  😊

7 More State Parks + Rugby This Week!

In my effort to personally visit and photograph all 53 or 54 Tennessee State Parks, I checked off seven more this week, all near Knoxville: Panther Creek, Norris Dam, Big Ridge, Cove Lake, Indian Mountain, Pickett, and Cumberland Mountain where I am now. Here is just one of hundreds of photos, this of one of the natural arches or natural bridges in Pickett State Park.

That was one of the parks I saw today after waking up in a motel across the highway from Cove Lake State Park which had a herd of Llamas behind the motel. Hmmm! Grass mowing? Made on my new cell phone and first ever smart phone for me, a Galaxy S4 - another adventure I'm own and loving it!

Rugby has some really neat architecture which I photographed, but nothing is open on Monday!

Going home tomorrow!

State Parks Exploration

One of my "Bucket List" plans is to visit all 53 Tennessee State Parks and I have already done more than half. One missing section has been the majority of parks in West Tennessee, so last week I spent 4 days finding and photographing 12 parks I had either not seen or at least had no photos of (in the case of 3). It was a good week, just wish I had taken longer and spent more time at a few of them.

There's a sample photo of each park at  http://www.pbase.com/charliedoggett/travel_state_parks_west
and I plan to eventually have a separate photo gallery for each state park. We have a very good state park system and a perfect place to take "A Walk in the Woods" which is the working title of the photo book I am preparing with photos from all 53 parks. It will eventually be available in my bookstore, maybe this fall.
