Fall on the Eno

 I apologize if you're expecting a lot of fall color.

Judy and I were at one of our favorite spots last month

for a delayed celebration of our 46th anniversary.

I'm talking about the Eno River State Park near

Hillsborough, where leaves were just starting to turn

at that time. I'm sure they are majestic by now.

But here's a quick sampler with brief narration.

Judy and I have hiked at the Eno many times in the last 10 years,
but this was our first excursion at the Cole Mill Access.

Can you tell that we are two very satisfied "customers"?

Somehow trees like this make me think "port-o-potty."
It all goes back to "St. John", the toilet tree on the SFL Nature Trail.

Here's the two-seater, the luxury model.

Below are several pictures of our favorite views along
the trail. DO NOT MISS the HURTLING METEORS
near the end!!!

Love those reflections!

These next two pictures must be looked at together.

Which one do you think is "right-side up"?

And do you see a meteor hurtling toward you at

warp speed in either picture? We did!

You'll see a variety of beautiful wildflowers in the

Eno River State Park, depending on the season.

This is definitely a trail we'll return to, possibly soon.

Plan your own fall outings now, before they become winter outings!

A second blog post will follow right away, telling of our other

"secret mission" while in Hillsborough. Don't miss it!
