Small Waterfalls

Yesterday afternoon after I finished with my work we decided to escape the heat and go for a short (only five miles, mind you) hike in the mountains, the Boone Fork Trail. We were hoping to get some berries, they are usually get ripe in the middle to end of July, but with this Spring and Summer being so hot we thought that maybe they will be ready couple weeks earlier. They were not. Maybe another week. As I mentioned Boone Fork Trail is a five miles loop, it goes through some rolling hills and season pastures, which are full with berries and then it gets into the forestry area and goes along a small creek, which turns into much bigger mountain creek, almost like a small river. Along the way I saw this little waterfall, we decided to take a small break and take a photo of it. btw, it looks better in high resolution, just click on it.

Day to Relax

Yesterday I was looking in my archives for some photos for July 4th and decided to process and share this one. It is probably more appropriate for the flag day, but I think it is good for an Independence Day as well. Most people are doing BBQ today, but I could not find any, nor any photos of the parades.

This one was taken last year in NC mountains.
