Everything about Hendersonville, NC & Asheville, NC

I’ve had a passion of photography ever since my dad allowed me the opportunity to take photos with his 35M film camera.  I’m not a paid photographer - I just enjoy the reward I receive when I’ve captured something beautiful.  I’m so glad I get to share my photos with Active Rain.  I appreciate al...

This photo says it all.  I had no idea that 40-50% of today’s dogs are overweight!  Some studies report obesity in 60% of cats! Most pets spend all day inside waiting on us to come home and play.  I’m guilty of wanting to sit on the couch and catch up on email instead of taking my Gizmo out on a ...

The leaves are at their peak in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina.  It’s my favorite time to get out and connect with nature.  I happened to catch this leaf as it was floating by.  I’m so thankful to live in the mountains and I love sharing my discoveries with you.  

While taking a hike in beautiful DuPont Forest I can across this hiker and asked for permission to take this photo.  My dog had to walk and looked quite confused when he spotted princess. I couldn’t stop smiling and thinking hope she doesn’t have to go potty any time soon.  What we do for our pet...

It’s been a busy weekend with our friends Melissa, her husband Jason and their son Brandon visiting. We’ve missed them so much since they’ve moved. Jason wanted to be helpful and knew I let my dog Gizmo potty outside without a leash since he is trained to stay with me.  Jason opened the door and ...

The weather was perfect! My friend Melissa had previously lived in the Hendersonville North Carolina area.  It’s been a while since there last visit, so with backpack, kids, dogs and camera in had we set out for Triple Falls. We use to walk together when she lived here so it was like old times.  ...

I once found a chipmunk sitting outside my window.  It appeared to be having a nice conversation with my ladybug lawn ornament.  I haven’t seen my little guy in a while until yesterday.  Apparently he has a new friend and he brought it to my window just for me to see.  It was good to see him agai...

Located in the beautiful Pisgah Forest is Looking Glass Falls.  It’s one of the favorite stops up to the Blue Ridge Parkway, and one of the most photographed. We have a tradition of once a year traveling to Pisgah Forest around fall, snapping photos and then lunch at the Pisgah Inn Restaurant.  I...

Located near the entrance of DuPont Forest is a fabulous horse farm known as Shoal Creek.  We were invited to a birthday party which offered pony rides for all the kids. Seeing the children engage with nature and animals was refreshing.  After the pony rides there were games such as duck – duck -...
