Gone Paddling

I love this picture of my husband’s sandals

left on the rocks at the edge of the lake.

Colt with Mother

Here is the colt with his mother.  She is beautiful also,

so large, and a deep brown with huge hoofs.

Blue Sky and Clouds

As I was driving in rural Davie County on Saturday,

I came upon a beautiful farm with several

pastures for horses and black cows. 

 Horses in Pasture

I came up to photograph this little fellow’s mother because she was so

gorgeous, and was very surprised to find him lying sound asleep on the

grass near the front of the paddock.  Before I could get his picture, he

sensed me, woke up and stretched.  He was only a few weeks old, if that.

Silver Run Falls in Cashiers, NC

This is a wonderful place to get in the ice cold water and play.  The “sand” along the bottom of the falls and creek is an unusual platinum or silver color.

Summer day on Whisper Lake in Sapphire Valley, NC

We spent a week’s vacation in a beautiful log cabin on this private lake in 2008.  My husband’s brother and sister came and brought their families.  We had a great reunion in this small mountain community.  This is where I fell in love with kayaking.

Sapphire Valley is between Cahsiers and Brevard in North Carolina.   It is surrounded by small lakes and waterfalls.
