guess who was hanging out in the backyard
I was told it was a good thing I didn't touch this. cute, but has a nasty sting.
we took a trip to Grandfather Mountain
this bridge is pretty high up and swings!
some people made it across, but were too scared to walk back across it.
overheard this bald eagle was shot and after being rehabilitated back to health, was unable to fly.
look cute don't they? apparently they're not as cute as they look...
one of the keepers told us they will break your bones if you get too close.
off to see the waterfalls
here I am with Kevin (yes, he's younger than I am,
especially with that goofy haircut---I can't cut hair, but I try) :-)
Kevin said the waterfall used to be higher when he was younger.
I guess a lot of the rock eroded away.
this is looking the opposite direction from the waterfall
poisonous?
off to visit Kevin's grandmother in Newland, NC
these grow wild on her land...I think they're wild blackberries
she grows Christmas trees...lots of people out there do as well
