Snow Adventure

After the recent snow we headed out looking for some snow scenery. We didn't get a whole lot of snow in Balsam. We headed south on 276 and then ended up on Lake Logan Road. After we passed Sunburst the road got treacherous. We put the Explorer in four wheel drive and plowed forward. The road was getting worse and I could not find a place to turn around. We came across these frozen cascades which make a pretty good photo. I hope to return to Logan Lake Road when there is not a foot of snow on the road.

At The Cross

This cross is at the peak of Mt. Lyn Lowry. I can see it out of a window where we are living. At night it is illuminated so those who are in the nearby communities of Hazelwood, Waynesville, and Balsam can see it. It is also visible from hwy. 74 and many other roads bearing witness to many visitors of the mountains. We hiked for three and a half hours to reach it, but once we got there the scenery was breath taking. I feel blessed to be so close to this landmark while studying for the ministry. It is a constant reminder of what the ministry is all about.

Country Vista

These country shots were captured off of Upper Crabtree Rd. Clyde, NC. It was a rough day to be out due to snow covered roads.

Country Barn

This is a barn off of Hwy 209 outside of Sylva, NC. I shot it during a snow storm a little while back but I finally got a nice blue sky as a backdrop.

Country Snow

This was shot on Hwy 209. There was no place to pull off of the road so I turned on the hazard lights and shot this from the middle of the road.
