Mother was here twice before, and showed Joe and me this beautiful forest: this was Joe's first time here (I was here once, decades ago); we already looking forward to coming back again!
In preparation for a field trip to DuPont State Forest (Transylvania County, North Carolina) later in the week with some out-of-state friends, I decided to go up there to scout out the area, a bit. I ended up finding a good variety of wildflowers to photograph -- some of which had already finished blooming in South Carolina.

We had a chance to visit some waterfalls near Asheville, North Carolina during a family visit in August 2013. The scenery there is great and it was good that there was a lot of rain this summer so the falls were running high. I love visiting this area and hope to make it back there in the near future.
This represents the culmination of a day trip that my partner, Walter Ezell and I took to DuPont State Forest near Cedar Mountain, Transylvania County, North Carolina.
I had been to this area ten days prior, and had seen the orchids in tight bud. I figured that they would be in pretty good shape on this day.
We had heard about this location from my flickr buddy, Kelvin Taylor and his cousin Cathy Howell. But on that trip last year, the orchids had already finished blooming. As you can see, they were in perfect bloom on this trip.
