Abrams Falls

Abrams Falls

Went to visit my sister in Rockford Tn. a couple of weeks back. Just 30 short minutes to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. So I could not resist going for a hike. Cades Cove is a lovely area with a one way loop road with great views of the mountains, open fields and wildlife.

Abrams falls was a 2.5 mile hike over two ridges before descending to the falls. When you reach the bottom you are well rewarded with the view of the falls. Not many people on the trail this time of year but I can imagine what it is like in the spring and summer. After the hike I continued on the loop road which is approximately 13 miles around. This is a beautiful place and can't wait to go back to explore more trails and waterfalls. Above are a few pics from my adventure.

Me and my shadow unaccompanied

I find myself doing more alone than with others. There is solace in the solitude of nature for me. The dialogue with oneself is uncensored. No mimicry or masks invade the conversation with oneself. Only the truth can be found within this conversation. Where the duality of ones opinion of self and feelings converge with veracity.

Just a few photos from my wanderings in nature while wandering through the paths in my mind.
