We went on a little family hike to Fall Creek. There were only minor outbursts so overall it was a success! It certainly was nice to be near the river instead of at home with no a/c! I’m not that much of a nature girl so I take my camera to stay busy while DH frolics with the girls and I decided to hunt for hearts in nature… it was kind of fun, see if you agree that you see a heart too… I got bored near the rocks, that was sort of a cheater heart! Ha!

Are you sick of my nature pics yet? Or maybe the smiley faces? Nooooo… not those! You can never have enough smiley faces right?! I am having fun taking and playing with these photos of flowers and such. I took this one today while I went on a hike to my usual Mt. Pisgah. After I took the photo I couldn’t stop wondering if I had walked in poison oak when I moved the flower. (What can I say, sometimes nature needs a little help!) Happily no itching yet so I think I’m good. I must have poison oak on the brain because my mom is currently suffering from it… hope you are itching less mom!

We went on a little hike today to Sweet Creek Falls. It was gorgeous! The falls were beautiful and the the trail was super easy to walk, always a bonus in my book! Of course did the rest of my family stay on the trail? No… It was fine however since I was totally sucked in by the beauty of all the ferns and flowers. I was fascinated by all the different types of ferns and how they all swirled open differently. I just love swirls and it was very cool to see so much natural swirly goodness. I took way took a ridiculous number of photos and I can’t wait to go make some fern beads!
