The forest is my home.
Rainy lake day. You’re so beautiful.
Bald Cypress trees along the Waccamaw River.
Exploring Pisgah. Come on in, the water is COLD.
The Blue Ridge Parkway near Mt. Mitchell.
My favorite sound. The Great Smoky Mountains.

There’s no picture on earth that could do Max Patch justice. I have been wanting to see this spot for years. Max patch was the last hike on my list that I haven’t been to yet, and the one corner of Pisgah I haven’t explored. So, I made a special trip today because it was my last Saturday before I move.
I’ve never choked up at a view before, but this place filled me with a rush of emotions. What a year it’s been. What a place to close this chapter. Max Patch is by far the most beautiful view I have seen here. Pisgah, I love you so so much.
A nice change of scenery ❄️
Frisco, CO in September.
No place brings me as much joy and comfort as the swamps along the coastal plains.

We made a friend yesterday, as we usually do. I need to start bringing my camera on hikes for often. Eastern Ratsnake. One of our favorites.
I often have a hard time picking favorites, especially when it comes to nature… but, the Balsam Trail at Mt. Mitchell is absolutely my favorite I’ve hiked in the Appalachians. It’s the most unique trail - completely different from anything you’d ever see in this region of the world. Stepping from the peak of the tallest mountain in the Appalachians, and into the threshold of the Balsam Trail - it teleports you. The fog you see in the background is no fog, we’re in a cloud 6,684 ft in the sky. Pisgah National Forest has a huge piece of my heart.
Lunch today included a fire.
I had a dream about Mount Mitchell last night. Woke up this morning and fog covered my surroundings. I can’t escape my memories.
