First Photo Post

So, I have decided to make a photo blog. I have a feeling that a lot of my pictures were boring people to tears over at my facebook page. I have to say that I am very grateful to God for moving me from Canton, Ohio, to Western North Carolina. I just don't see that there would ever be as many beautiful photo opportunities for me in Canton, no mountains, no streams, no rivers, no waterfalls. No National Forests. Yes, God has blessed me.

Lake Lure, NC. The water was 8 feet below normal, but I was told that the dam was going to be opened this afternoon to fill it back up. The marina has been rebuilt, and other work is now complete, and the water should be back up within days.

Hickory Nut Falls, located in Bat Cave, NC.  Parts of the movie, Last of the Mohicans, was filmed here.

Chimney Rock, NC

Another view of Lake Lure. The movie, Dirty Dancing, was filmed in part here.
