My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives. ~ #MelBrooks

Took another visit to Roaring Fork Falls located near the junction of NC80 and the Blue Ridge Parkway. After all the rain we've had recently, the falls were really flowing harder than I've ever seen. The water was quite high as well limiting where I could move around safely. The pace of the flow also created a draft which kept nearby leaves and branches moving. Not a good thing for long exposure photography. But it felt so good to get in a hike and practice with my new camera. I'll be heading up Hawksbill Mountain soon to try to catch the short-lived blooms on the Carolina Rhododendrons.

While photographing Setrock Creek Falls, I noticed two salamanders having a wrestle on the bank of the creek. Eventually one managed to grab the other's head in his jaws and wouldn't let go.

 

Not to worry -- as soon as I nudged the aggressor's tail, he let the other guy go and both ran off and hid under a log.
