We went hiking in the Kentucky woods this past weekend, and had a great time exploring.
There are around 20 trails on the 3,000 acres that surround Shaker Village - needless to say we only chose 2 this time and finished our 12,000 steps by lunchtime.
This shot reminded me of Lord of the Rings when Frodo and the crew first encountered a Ringwraith.
We made our way across a few creeks/cricks/streams/whatever you like to call them till we finally found.....
I've never seen a stream source coming right out of the mountain. That water was cold.
There is plenty of jewelweed around the streams here. Fun fact: jewelweed is a superb poison ivy healer.
Two summers ago my arm was swollen 3x its normal size. We found some jewelweed from a generous friend and started rubbing it directly on my skin. It has the consistency of Aloe Vera and heals just as well.
This is one of my favorite shots. It looks like icicles.
Thank you for stopping by! All photos were taken with my iPhone 7.
