“When all else is lost, the future still remains.” – Christian Nestell Bovee

Who doesn’t love this time of the year? Between the weather changing and the leaves turning colors, this is one of my favorite seasons. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy summer, but when the pool is longer an option, I prefer the cooler weather. I am not a fan of sweating while I take my class out to recess, and I don’t have to worry about the A/C going out while I am trying to teach. I love being able to have a hot cup of coffee in the middle of the day, and not worry about getting overheated. Fall is my time of the year.

A couple of years ago we took a fall drive around the North Carolina Mountains. I took these shots near McGalliard Falls. McGalliard Falls is located near Valdese, North Carolina. It is not too far from I-40 near Boone, North Carolina. It was an unexpected find for us. We just finished apple picking nearby, and had some time to do some exploring. We Googled where the nearest waterfall is, and this is what we found. The falls are only a short walk away from the parking lot, and it has some pretty awesome views. I went as far down stream as I could to see check out what I could see. There was some wonderful to see even beyond the falls. I was just walking around the stream looking for some different views.
