Joyce Kilmer Part 2

This picture doesn't do this tree justice! Luckily Terry used to wide angle lens to get the shot.

We had to watch for fallen limbs on the trails.

Perfect round hold in this rock.

I'm pretty sure this is the tree where Tony's ashes will be scattered.

 

This fern covered boulder was at the end of the trail.

Day 2-Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest

On Tuesday, August 20th, we decided to take a trip up to Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest. This was one of the highlights of our trip. Not only because we had never been there before, but one of our oldest and dearest friends used to talk about this place all the time. I would like to dedicate these photos to the memory of our friend, Tony Long, who was killed in a semi-truck accident in Texas on Aug. 3rd. His sons will be scattering his ashes in the place that he loved so much.

 

I'll post more pictures from Joyce Kilmer tomorrow. This place was so gorgeous and serene. It had rained before we got there and while we were there. The trails were muddy, but we enjoyed every minute of our hike.

Terry took these gorgeous sunrise pictures this morning.

 

Snow!

It started snowing here last night around 11:30 pm. The flakes were big and gorgeous and were flying around in the high winds. Terry was already in bed. Me and our cat, Bullet stood by the back door and watched the snow fall. We even went out onto the back porch at one point. Needless to say we didn't stay out there long. We don't get a lot of snow here in Tennessee like we used to, but we'll take whatever we can get. I would estimate about an inch or so fell. Sadly, it's almost all gone now. Hopefully we can get a substantial snowfall before winter comes to an end!
