Exploring in the North Carolina Mountains

Just like interior design and flying and photography, travel is another passion of which I can’t get nearly enough!  Exploring really, but exploring is always more fun when travel is involved…and always with camera in hand.

Last month I got to explore the mountains of North Carolina.  Living in the Dallas area, mountains are not part of my daily life, so I’m always struck by their immensity and find myself in a state of awe the entire time I’m visiting.

In December the landscape is cold, wet and brown!  And while there are seasons that are greener or more colorful, winter has its own beauty…

The Nantahala River is damned controlled.  During the summer it hosts many levels of white-water rafting.  But in the winter the damn is closed and the water recedes, exposing a dry river bed that you can walk on.

 

 

 

The forest is always an inspiration to me.  The best color combinations I have found from nature!  Here are two types of tree moss that caught my attention! Those greens are exquisite!

Small town charm…

 

Hope I’ve inspired YOU to explore!
