I grimace as I reach under the stream of a waterfall pouring in front of the trail. The water is chilly and clean.

One of my favorite, easy to reach places: on trail! Lots of brown this time of year but even so green mosses, holly and evergreen trees still bring some color.

Snow/frost covered holly

Cute little icicles hanging from a mossy log!

I hiked with a dear friend to Grotto Falls on Black Friday! #grottofalls #GSMNP #Smokys
