Hiking



 While hiking through the trails surrounding the Smokey Mountains of North Carolina, I find myself living in the moment, discovering special encounters along each step of the way.


Often, the hiking trails lead us to glorious vistas,





or, secret waterfalls.


When I reach the destinations, I would wander around exploring, taking pictures or sit and eat a snack I brought along.


The whole time being proud of the accomplishment and resting up for the hike back.


Sometimes, it's the unexpected treasures that I discover along the way.


Like a classic demonstration of unconditional love,

or, watching two children experience the power and force of nature from a natural waterfall - up close and personal.







Always an adventure, as well as a cleansing of the mind and soul.
