Hidden Gem at Arabia Mountain by John Becker
From John:
“Who knew there was a hidden gem of a waterfall at Davidson-Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve? I didn’t. In fact, it might not have been there at all except for all the rain we’ve had recently. So, in addition to a nice day hike around the nature preserve, I was treated to this very pleasant surprise. In case you’re wondering, the waterfall’s on the south end of Arabia Lake.”

Taken at Candler Lake in Lullwater Park near Emory around Father’s Day of this year, I call this shot “Dropping a Line” for how it portrays this special father-son moment.
