Last Saturday’s outing took us north just across the Tennessee state line into southern Kentucky.

We had gorgeous skies overhead and scorching summer temperatures, but we enjoyed the day of leisure.

At the end of Pinnacle Road, the park has an extended observation deck for visitors to enjoy a spectacular view of the valley.

I took this macro shot in front of the Visitor’s Center and although the flowers were past peak, it was still a pleasure to capture. Sharing with other i heart macro photographers!

We want to plan a return trip this fall with the promise of a tamer forecast to enjoy outdoor activities.
