The green moss on the rocks and ferns contrast so nicely with the dried leaves on the ground. I like the little church with green roof.

Yea...Dear Betsy, thanks for the tour of the Hollow. Years and years ago--right after I left the convent in 1966--I lived in Ohio for a while. During that time,I spent a weekend in Kentucky at the Shaker village there and then several years later an Ohio friend and I drove down through Kentucky to Gatlinburg where we camped in the Smokies and then drove, I think, through part of Tennessee to get to South Carolina. <br /><br />In Tennessee--if I'm remembering correctly--my friend visited a site that reenacted life among the Cherokee. That part of the country is so lovely. Thank you for reminding me of those days.

I love all your pics especially the one with all the gear. You remind me of myself and Kathie when we're on the trails. It's quite the production but also very necessary. This year I added a new gear piece....the Camelbak which will allow me to bird during the intense summer heat. Hope you both have a nice weekend and get to do some more hiking. All my best.
