From Cooler Days

 

Sometimes nature just shows off and all we can do is snap away. 

Bring on Summer!

Stone Mountain State Park in beautiful Roaring Gap, NC is a heavenly place.  Kids and families flocked there last weekend to splash in the falls, hike the trails, and generally kick off that lovely season called summer. 

A Lovely Fall

Leaves

by Elsie N. Brady

How silently they tumble down
And come to rest upon the ground
To lay a carpet, rich and rare,
Beneath the trees without a care,
Content to sleep, their work well done,
Colors gleaming in the sun.

At other times, they wildly fly
Until they nearly reach the sky.
Twisting, turning through the air
Till all the trees stand stark and bare.
Exhausted, drop to earth below
To wait, like children, for the snow.

Spring!

Flowers expand their light and soul-like wings,
Teaching us, by most persuasive reasons,
How akin they are to human things."

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
