Lake Junaluska, NC

Posted on July 8, 2014
Lake Junaluska in western North Carolina

Nestled in the Appalachian mountains of Haywood County, North Carolina is home to the beautiful, tranquil Lake Junaluska.

The early morning clouds hovering over the mountain peaks transformed the surrounding to an almost dream-like world. It compelled me to stay forever but reluctantly I pulled myself out of that state of mind because there were other things to do on our agenda for the day. The good news is I can revisit Lake Junaluska anytime with the drive being under 2-hours from home.

Mama and her babies. I immediately thought of the children’s story, Make Way for Ducklings. Do you remember this little tale by Robert McCloskey?

 

I hope you enjoyed your visit along Lake Junaluska. Please feel free to share my post with your friends. Now, it’s time to send a round of applauds and cheers to this week’s featured photographer…

Feed me dearly

    Much better scenery than New Jersey near Camden! This weekend we will be driving into Pennsylvania. I hope to see better scenery there.

    Before they finished I-40 between Knoxville and Asheville I remember taking a highway that went right past Lake Junaluska. It was a beautiful drive, but so is I-40 and it’s faster.
