a walk in the woods, part 2

. . .and fabulous photos ! :))

thanks silverbell - I took 74 pics and had trouble deciding which ones to post!

More beautiful scenes. I love the rocky creeks :o))
I hope you and Henry both had a good rest afterwards

They are lovely to look at Lauram, Henry is looking very pleased with himself.........

You look like you had a wonderful walk. Henry certainly does look worn out. LOL
Thanks for posting you lovely photos. I've enjoyed walking along with you.

Great pics Lauram, I notice that unlike here the wooden structures aren't covered in green moss, must be dryer there.

Lovely blog Lauram :-))

Very nice blog.

Thanks. This is also a wonderful place to find spring wildflowers.....the paths and streams are lined with native azaleas and buckeyes & less-common plants such as trilliums and orchids are abundant.

Lauram, I shuddered when you put the photo of the rocks up and said it was a good place to find rattlesnakes in the summer! I think I'd walk well away from that area if I knew that....do you not mind running into them?

The scenery is very pretty...interesting ruins from pre-Civil War...do you know what kind of structure it would have been?

Thanks for giving us an idea of where you are living...and yes, Henry looks done in! lol

Oh, I love them, I used to work at Zoo Atlanta in the reptile house. We have them around the house too, as well as copperheads....I might be pushing my luck a bit but I've never been bitten and I don't even like to wear shoes.
The building was an old cotton mill, I think; the workers were all taken captive by Union forces at some point during the war. Pottery shards and other artifacts can still be found along the trails. It's interesting history but of course it's nothing compared to what you have in the UK. I love seeing everyone's photos of old ruins and castles and cathedrals; some of them I remember from my college art history courses.

Well Lauram...I very much like all the history that goes with the UK but I must set the record straight...I'm originally from British Columbia, Canada. So I am used to anything that is 100 yrs. old being of historical interest.

Castles, old cottages etc. are beautiful over here and the scenery outside of towns is lovely. I still have lots of the UK to explore though and I've lived here since 1983.

I enjoyed looking at some of your photos tonight...not too easy to work out how you can live with rattlesnakes in your attic and horrible spiders in your cupboards....I just couldn't handle that. lol

Thanks for the information about the ruins you saw on your walk too.

lovely pictures but i dont want to go there cos i dont like snakes
