I decided to take advantage of yesterday's rainy/cooler weather and visited #Shenandoah National Park. I hiked the Rose River Falls loop and the Bearfence Scramble. The weather was perfect – very foggy and slightly drizzly. And the waterfalls were gushing from the recent rainfall!

Rose River Falls is one of my favorites in the park. It’s not too easy or too hard, and it follows the river most of the time so you can constantly hear the gorgeous rushing water. Plus it always has the coolest mushrooms. It’s also a sentimental hike for me, as its the one I did the day my grandmother passed away. I’ve hiked it countless times, and it never gets old.

Bearfence is a short trail, only a mile long, but it has a ton of super fun rock scramble. As adults we don’t get to climb nearly enough, and you forget how fun it can be! The summit has a beautiful 360 degree mountain view, though it was completely obfuscated by the fog yesterday. I like tacking this one on to my day when I do shorter hikes in the park, to add a little more mileage and some fun.

Lucky enough to have a bit of a breeze blowing at the moment, so have been doing some gardening. Finished up with the usual chasing bees around with the camera. It's a hobby.

I found the book of moss.

An Art Nouveau style Peacock on top of a building on Buchanan Street in Glasgow. It was created by Alan Dawson in the late 1980s as part of the rennovation of the former Prince of Wales building, designed by John Baird and built in 1854, which now contains the Princes Square shopping centre.

Ooh, I actually have something for #ShowMeYourKnits!

This week, the prompt is garter stitch, and I'm still really enjoying the meditative nature of the ten stitch twist blanket!
