After reading about a unique waterfall located within what was described as a slot canyon less than 90 minutes from home, I knew I had to see it for myself.

 

Directions ended with: "At the end of the trail, follow the manway (unofficial trail) up, around the first waterfall, climb a small rock wall, and hike the remainder of the way to the next falls in the streambed". This translated into: Geezers like me will be sore the next day and will need to make an offering of a full dose of Ibuprofen to the trail gods.

 

Bailey Falls is located near Greeneville, TN in Cherokee National Forest, past Margarette Falls on the West Fork Dry Creek and is further divided into an upper and lower falls. The lower falls are shown here, with the top of the upper falls visible here as the first drop. The Lower Falls are 20 feet in height and the canyon section surrounding the plunge pool being perhaps 8 feet in width. With the rhododendrons overhanging the canyon from both sides it had a cave-like appearance. What it lacks in size it makes up for in beauty. There is only here. There is only now, and it is good. Off Trail Zen.

  

Following the Sawtooth series next with a series on bridges I've enjoyed here and there.

 

Starting with this colorful bridge in the Zen Garden of Victoria's Butchart Garden. Very peaceful and serene.

 

"The Japanese term for a Zen garden that uses only rocks and gravel is "karesansui," which means "dry landscape." The gardener places rocks in a bed of gravel in strategic locations to symbolize islands and mountains, and rakes the gravel to suggest flowing water. They were intended to imitate the intimate essence of nature, and be an evocative work of art that draws the viewer into a state of contemplation." Wiki

The awakened mind

"Yoga takes you into the present moment. The only place where life exists."

To me the sea is a continual miracle; The fishes that swim, the rocks, the motion of the waves, the ships with men in them. What stranger miracles are there? (Walt Whitman)

Zen maple leaf

Kokedera (moss temple), called Koinzan Saihoji is a beautiful temple in the mountains of Kyoto and a UNESCO site. It was originally a villa from the Asuka Period (538-710), and after it fell into disrepair it was converted to a Zen temple by Muso Soseki who created its gardens. Over the centuries, the deep carpet of mosses (120 species that thrive in the wet mountain climate) that it is famous for gradually took over the original white sand of the gardens when there were no funds for upkeep. I loved how the falling maple leaves lay on the deep carpet of mosses, surrounded by dried cypress needles. An advance reservation is needed to visit the temple and it can take weeks to get permission.

The nandina of contemplative meditation. A number of moon gates available to lead the wren, if not to enlightenment, at least to breakfast.
