kennesaw mountain

me and dog went back out to kennesaw and this time it wasn't all covered up with people --- atlanner in the summer haze all across the southern horizon --- the lower end of the blue ridge to the north --- it was the union army's first view of the city, too --- some of the confederate gun emplacements are still there and at least one is getting a face lift or something --- even if you're not all that interested in civil war military campaigns, all the trees and meadows are a large relief from the surrounding area

oh and the flock of giant swallowtails near the top of the mountain was wonderful
