After a look at some of our pictures this morning we were given a box lunch and set free to pursue our own adventures. I decided to head back up to the Blue Ridge Parkway to make my way back to the North Carolina side of the Park where I will be staying the next two nights. I stopped along the way to practice creating a forest abstract using intentional movement of the camera. I’ve been trying to get a good result with this all week and finally got one I like.

I then spent some time photographing along the Oconaluftee River practicing my new skills with running water. Then I stop back in at the Farm Museum to play with my Lensbaby Sweet 50 which hadn’t been out of the bag yet this trip.

Now settled into my hotel in Cherokee, I’ll set out tomorrow morning in search of waterfalls in the Deep Creek area.
