Waterfall on Cedar Creek

Cindy and I hiked the Pisgah National Forest in western North Carolina last month. We found this peaceful place and spent a couple of hours relaxing and taking in all it's beauty.

Places

While walking one of my favorite cities, I turned a corner and found these two US flags flying with the sun and the Chrysler Building in the background. With all the negative news surrounding our country, this reminds me that the USA has always been and will always be the greatest country.
