I couldn't resist the call of a little creekside cutout trail crossing and ended up on the Hard Times Spur Trail, going up and across a lovely field, leading me down to Lake Powhatan just before sunset.

On Wednesday I got to spend time with my new friend Tana. She’s pretty dope. The older I get the more I’m grateful for my friendships. Also we met a cute little lady mallard. ❤️#friends #newfriends #silliness #lakepowhatan (at Lake Powhatan Lake Campground) https://www.instagram.com/p/BntwHUQBDYx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13xg4l0nsw3rh

Rhododendrons encapsulate a trail at Lake Powhatan near Asheville, North Carolina. Something about these closed-in trails beckon me to venture further.

As nature slows down, expecting time for regeneration with the rhythm of the seasons, I find that for me, it has become a time for introspective reflection, deciding how to grow in the next season.
