The Cherohala Sky is close to Tellico Plains, TN. It stretches all the way into Robbinsville, NC. It’s a great place for us to get away to when we don’t have time to go further. I did a screen shot of Google Maps with the skyway highlighted in red. It’s a road trip that can be turned into an all day adventure continuing pass Robbinsville to head to the Smoky’s if we want but on this day we didn’t.
Today, I’m revisiting my archived photographs from one of our trips which I used in 2011 on CAAC of Cherohala Skyway to use with my Brushstrokes app. I hope you enjoy seeing the difference between the two images. The first photo I converted in Brushstrokes is of Indian Boundary Lake.
The next picture is of Bald Creek Falls. To get to this falls requires no hiking, its visible from the road. During the peek seasons traffic is heavy and there’s limited parking but if the timing is right like it was for us on this day we found a spot and managed to get out to snap a few pics.
I never tire of the natural beauty of our locale and what makes it especially wonderful is we’re within a comfortable driving distance from these gorgeous scenic sights and more that many can only enjoy while vacationing in our area.
With Covid-19 still a threat, we don’t like mingling with the masses. It’s a chore to protect oneself from people who do stupid things all the time. This will all blow over, hopefully with our health not being compromised, so for now when we want to take in God’s country, we’ll scroll through our photo archives to soak up His creation!
Join my #WildWednesdays linky party where just about anything goes! The concept for this mid-week blog hop was conceived as I found myself moving farther away from photography and more toward art. Of course, that’s not what this party is about. You’re invited to share anything – artwork, DIY projects, photos, music, musings, randomness, recipes, and more!
I’m gonna wrap things up with Joyce’s Wednesday Hodgepodge Q&A:
1. What advice would you give yourself as we begin this new year? Don’t let blogging sideline you from being active!
2. If you could throw a themed party for yourself what would the theme be? An ice cream themed party. This is my favorite temptation. I could eat ice cream every single day if I let myself but I won’t. I’m not sure if this is what you were wanting Joyce but it’s the first thing that came to mind.
3. Tell us where you were and something about what life was like when you were 20- 21. At the age of 20 I was attending working on my associate degree in Business Data Processing and celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary. We moved into our first home just the year before and we still live in the same house.
4. What’s on the menu at your house this week? Left overs. I still have some ham and turkey from Christmas dinner so we’ll eat on these things until it’s all gone.
5. What should you do more of this year? Less of? I definitely plan to do more moving this year. I spent way too much time sitting last year. My routine was interrupted by the pandemic but after I adjusted to having DH working from home I’m not sure what went wrong. I guess blogging allowed me to keep my mind off the troubles in the world.
6. Insert your own random thought here. Do you like pizza? I don’t know a person who would say anything other than yes and I want to share with you two recipes I have tweaked over the past year. The first one is my easy pizza dough recipe and the second one is my home-made pizza sauce.
I’m linking with these Wordless Wednesday Communities… Sandee, Natasha, Marie, & Wordless Wednesday! 😉
That wraps things up for now. I’ll be joining Rain’s Art Date tomorrow and I hope you’ll stop by. Have a wonderfully fun and WILD WEDNESDAY! X💋X💋, Cathy
