We are really blessed to live where we live. We have a nice series of trails within our community that our trail stewards maintain really well. We have not been on every trail but recently we checked out another one that was pretty amazing.

Right now the Mountain Laurels are blooming up a storm and this trail has plenty of them to enjoy along the way.
The reason we wanted to go on this particular trail was because it is famous for having a nice section with Flame Azaleas. We managed to see some but they were definitely at the end of their blooming season so next year we need to hit this trail a little bit earlier.
There are so many great things growing in the forest and one of my favorites are all of the fungi.
It’s always fun to find tracks and we are pretty sure this is from one of our many black bears that live in our little community with us.
One of the prettiest places is this little overlook. It is just a really beautiful spot, don’t you think?
Thanks for coming along on our hike today. It was fun to have company. Leave me a comment and don’t forget to Comment for a Cause for Jubilee Partners.

I am blessed – you are totally correct about that!
Wow! Right in your own community! My mom loved the mountain laurel.
The mountain laurel is stunning this year! We have several on our property and it is just so beautiful.
I have missed this one . Let,s go together next year!
It’s a date. It is really a pretty trail.
Very Pretty.
Thanks, Tonya. I agree.
So pretty. I can’t wait to go hiking again and counting down the days…
You will be hiking before you know it!
Wow. Those flowers. That view. But, oh, those bear tracks.
The bears are really active right now but they are really no threat unless you come between a momma and her cubs. They are roaming around looking for food right now so I have pulled all my feeders in. Don’t need them climbing up on my decks!
All the nature photos are great. The flowers are beautiful! Enjoyed the hike!!
Thanks, Shirley!
