My back has really been bothering me a lot. Ever since I did that work on my parent's deck I've not had a single good day. Despite that nagging pain, I decided I wasn't going to spend another weekend not doing anything (which is what I did last weekend). So I went hiking on both Saturday and Sunday! All 3 of these pictures were taken Saturday at White Pines Preserve in Chatham Co, NC. The picture on the left illustrates just how wet it is. It rained 4 out of 7 days last week and the trail was flooded out in a great number of spots. The upside was that there was a lot more green around than usual this time of year. By the end of Winter seeing green is a very wonderful thing. This picture shows 3 of the women I was hiking with trying to decide where to cross a stream. It wasn't very deep but some people just aren't willing to get their tender feet wet! *sigh* I had several encounters with the H2O and its fellow traveler, mud while doing jumps across wet areas so upo...

I was hiking down south today and took this picture of the verge grass on the side of a river. Isn't it pretty? Now that Spring is started it's nice to see that the grass is greening up so nicely to celebrate. The only downside is that my yard is going to need mowing within the week. *sigh* The picture up there was taken in White Pines Preserve and is the Chatham County side of the Deep River. On the other side of the river is Lee County but I never got over there.
