Rivers, Creeks and Streams

I love spending time deep in the woods and usually deep in the water to find spots of tranquility surrounded by the soft and sometimes harsh sound of rushing water.

Spring Flow

Got on the Parkway near Bent Creek in Asheville at 5:30 and I was quickly shrouded in the most dense fog I have ever experienced. That quickly transitioned to heavy rain, I pushed forward hoping it would clear for the sunrise at 6:30. As I passed Waterrock Knob I realized the I was not going to escape the fog and rain for sunrise. Turned up the music and settled in while I made my way to the Smokies. Still pouring the rain I turned into the first pull off along the Oconaluftee and to my surprise I was greeted to moutain laurel blooming across the river. I gathered my gear and framed the shot in the pouring rain and with this image I knew that this day was going to be worth the 2 hour drive in the clouds and rain.
