I've just returned from another couple of days in North Carolina, staying overnight at Noel & Patrick's Thursday and Friday nights. Sandwiched in between the visit at Tumbling Fun Falls was a trip into Asheville for a Guild committee meeting.
Noel and Patrick have opened up a new trail on the property and we took a walk along that this morning before I left. This path is my favorite now! It meanders through laurel hells and along the creek, dense layer of leaf litter and humus underfoot. I took quite a few photos on the walk but most didn't turn out very well. But I manipulated a few of the shots with iPhoto in an attempt to give a sense of the timeless quality that I feel in the place. I could imagine these woods giving off the same essence of spiritual presence 100 years ago--or 1,000 years ago. It's as though this cove forest stands removed from time in the way I experience it.
