Walk in Thunderous Woods

In Batcave, an exploration up the eastern side of the valley was had. Wasn't even sure if the Batcave actually existed (though the name does rather suggest it, doesn't it?). Nevertheless, in torrential rain and booming thunder, we eked our way up for half an hour or so. The mistiness, tree limbs and pretty blossom made it feel like the veil between our world and the fairy realm had been rent asunder. Magical. Vibes I like. It wasn't the last walk in the thunder I was to have in the USA in 2009. Thunder rumbles gave way to tummy rumbles, so time to go in quest of a mythical burger at Lake Lure.

Meetings with Trees

I love trees, and I met a remarkable few trees in my time in the USA. Don't know the species, just know they were amazing. Here's the first memorable tree, under South Carolina Blue Sky. Is this a Black Walnut Tree?
