It was a fabulous weekend with amazing weather!
Cool and crisp....sunny and dry!
Saturday I went to the Art Show on Main and
it was the BEST art festival of the year!
We've bought a lot of local art so it was fun to see some of our
favorite artists again and find out what they are working on now!
Then on Sunday we packed a picnic lunch and headed to the mountains!
We own land up in the Bluff community in NC, very near the TN border.
This was our view while we sat and ate lunch!
Then I enjoyed taking photos of the flora and fauna!
(but I will save those for another day!)
We drove down the winding mountain road to my Dad's old home place
and we celebrated his life. It was the 5th anniversary of his passing
and we hiked the land! It was a wonderful way to remember him.
Take a hike with me along the creek....
Let's cross over to the island first....
Is he trying to catch a fish? lol
And enjoy the views of the creek and waterfalls.
It's hard to capture the beauty
and magnificent power of the creek.
It is SO loud, you can not talk and be heard
and you could not walk into the water without
being swept off your feet....plus it's ICE cold! lol
So if you imagine....deafening waterfalls and icy spray...
enjoy the breathtaking beauty of a walk along the creek!
Happy Monday everyone!
God bless!

What a lovely tranquil place.
Wow Diane! Such an amazing place! Really beautiful!
Happy Monday! More Halloween decoration this week, please! ;-0
what a beautiful walk, a very special way to fondly remember your Dad. Hugs, Catherine x
Oh, my. How lucky you are!! That is beautiful country. Is that your bridge and picnic area too? Just spectacular. Cheers!
Your photos are FABULOUS, I felt as if I could almost hear that water moving, the sound of it is so soothing and peaceful inspite of its rushing loudness! Love the view you had from the picnic spot, I think I would have wanted to stay all day just right there! What a lovely way to spend the anniversary of your father's passing, by being where he loved to be and keeping him very close to you in thoughts and in your heart. You must miss him very much. Have a wonderful Monday, and thanks for sharing such lovely photos. I am thrilled to be able to see a place so far away on such a personal basis!! Debby
thanks for stopping by my blog..we only have one stinky puppy though..not two..couldn't handle two of him..he is too high strung..but alot of fun..;)
Beautiful and mesmerizing. Oh how I would love to walk that trail. And the bridge, Wow!, it looks like the bride on that childrens movie, dang, I can't think of the name of it. Anyway, what a lovely place to have lived in. I envy your fathers homestead. I envy you being able to walk through such a scerene and magical place. Can I come along next time. Please. I have a nice trail that I walk behind our library but there are no streams or waterfalls. Waterfalls are my weakness.
Thanks so much for sharing that with us.

Your photos are simply gorgeous! They make me want to get out and go for a hike but I don't think I have anything that beautiful nearby.
What a lovely place to visit, picnic and hike! The family ties you have there make it really YOUR place!
What a wonderful place to hike and visit nature!! There is a nice creek not far from my home that I stopped at yesterday to take some photos at.
