walking trails...



this little stone bridge stole my heart....


we rested and just relaxed....

walked more trails....









everything was so beautiful and green!

 We toured and visited the Butterfly Conservatory, it was so beautiful inside and so interesting.....









 There was a historic primitive cabin within the park also.....






 And a charming little Chapel with stain glass windows....








 Behind the Chapel was this water feature....I love the sound of the water trickling over the rocks


Leave it to my husband to find a snake in the rocks!

I hope you enjoyed coming along with us!

Warm Springs Georgia.....May 2017

Warm Springs Georgia is near the Franklin D. Roosevelt State Park and we enjoyed exploring this quaint and charming downtown while on vacation at the end of May....here are some photos of the town....




 If you are ever in Warm Springs, Ga. I highly recommend the Bulloch House Restaurant, their food was amazing...they have the best home style country food....they even had fried green tomatoes!
 Also Hotel Warm Springs has an old-fashioned fudge and ice cream shop inside....





There were a lot of interesting shops....and I loved the laid back atmosphere here! I had to take a picture of the blooming flowers that were on the side of one of the buildings!

Pine Mountain Georgia Franklin D. Roosevelt State Park...

These photos are from our vacation at the end of May 2017.....
 These below were taken on the scenic road through the park at the pull off lookout areas...there was quite a bit of elevation on Pine Mountain, though my photos don't show it well....


 I would love to see it in the fall....



 Visitors Center....


We hiked some of the Pine Mountain Trail....







We were fairly deep in the woods y'all.....





 We hiked to Csonka Falls....it was about a 2 mile round trip....


We made it to Csonka Falls...it was tiny but pretty still, the creek was crystal clear.....
There was a  bigger water fall about 1.2 more miles, it's called Cascade Falls, (which is where we were originally gonna hike to), but we felt like we had hiked, and "conquered" enough today, and besides it was time for lunch... we were tired. We are used to the Florida flat lands sort of hikes, ha! So, we decided to head on back....
It was a great time.... and the park was beautiful!
Thanks for hiking along with us!
