:: first hike of the new year

I found a new little trail at one of my favorite spots 

to watch the sun set on Morrow Mountain.

This is the view from my little perch. 

It was like fire was 

licking the mountains edge, 

lighting the brush up like flames,

with only the lake in the distance

to quench it.

The path around the mountain top.

I sat with the sun on my face,

 dried grasses and flowers dancing in the wind.

I admired the beauty of the fallen trees.

I took a moment to honor all of those on this path before me.

I stood my offering upright, 

the one time has chipped 

away like an artifact.

In my happy place :).

Happy New Year!!

:: Finally Fall

Hello Friends, How is everyone enjoying the changing of the seasons?

 Here in N.C. fall has finally arrived with it's cool temps & amazing blue skies.  

I am dying to get to the mountains for the big show, I hear it's getting there but not quite yet so maybe I'll still make it that way in time for the leaf change. Until then I settle for visiting Morrow Mountain State Park just across the lake from us, it's my little slice of mountain life without the two hour plus drive.

My mother & I enjoyed a nice hike and a snack overlooking this view a few weeks ago.  Then just the other night I spent an evening enjoying a beautiful sunset with my best friend.

Guys seriously....these views!!! 

There's nothing better than the top of a mountain & a beautiful sunset.

So happy to spend quality time with my sweet mama & my beautiful best friend.

If you ever get the chance, check out Morrow Mountain,

 it's a great place to spend quality time with your favorite people.

peace, love & hugs

Carrie Ann
