Mountain Trip 3

Ziggy hunting in the flower bed this morning. 

And then he performed for me. 

We had a picnic lunch by the river waiting to go tubing. See the train in the background? We rode it the last time we visited here with the kids (grown kids). 

Here are the tubing friends. The experienced ones helped us have a great time. It was so fun. 

Took a break after that in McCaysville. 

Went to Toccoma Riverside restaurant. Waited in a lovely spot for a very long time for very wonderful trout. Everywhere is so short staffed. 

Hot and humid not good for my hair. 

Little bear right by my seat.

Just shrooms

We have had so much rain and mushrooms love it. 

I’m just going to post pictures, so enjoy. 

Cute little snail. 

This one was so cute. 

This was so tiny. 

I just realized that that is poison ivy!

These were so pretty. Almost green and purple. 

About the size of a large pea. 

And y’all I took these all in one morning!!

Sophie sent me this picture she took of her succulent. Someone popped up in his pot. 

Took these on another day. 

Looks like a slice of chocolate pie. 

These were in the front yard. I was backing my car out and had to slam on brakes and jump out to take these. 

Such intense color.
