No direct path to this spot … lots of exposed tree roots on the forest floor, low hanging tree branches and a big territorial black bear … and in the wider pools deeper in … native brook trout …
Totally beautiful, and very refreshing just to look at it. It looks similar to many of the areas of the Shenandoah Mountains and Valley that I visited while living in No Virginia. Their being the homeland of my Maternal Cherokee ancestors, I enjoyed walking through them and experiencing the gifts of Mother Earth.
It smells as beautiful as it looks …
Such a natural, almost wild, setting. Are there paths, or if not, is it difficult to walk through the underbrush?

I know what you mean, sometimes all you have to do is find a nice quite spot just out of sight of the nearest building.
Beautiful Mac.. just the perfect tonic to a really bad day.
Happy to be an island out of the storm … I have lots more of these and will post at least one or more tomorrow.
Very nice
Come on spring, I want to get out and see this kind of stuff for real

Are those wild rhododendrons?
Beautiful.
Also known as mountain laurel. It grows all over the woods in PA.
Nice crick, Mac. Looks like it had a little flooding earlier
"a bit difficult to get to … and well worth the time and effort."
Forging ones own path is like that. Makes Life Grander !
"MANY" need to try it....just once ! It may become a Thing ....if they actually do IT !
I'm withya in spirit.
Glad we have a piece of common ground, ME. Politics aside, we can agree on the spiritual power of unspoiled NATURE.
We ALWAYS have on subjects like these.
I luv's those that go "Outside" the set BOX.
Beautiful photo.
