Beautiful Waterfalls

Engine Falls is off of Sams Branch in the Pisgah National Forest. This branch is very similar to Flat Laurel Creek though a much smaller version. It is a series of cascades that traverse towards Hwy 215 near the Blue Ridge Parkway. The photograph taken of Engine Falls is just one of many cascades on this branch. The name is given from the history behind this location. The trail towards the cascades is actually an old railroad grade and engines would stop here to get water for their steam engines. Hence the name Engine Falls.
White Owl Falls is a small yet beautiful waterfall in the Pisgah National Forest. It is approximately 15' high with a shallow pool at the base.

Spring wildflowers bloom early in the New River Gorge of West Virginia. From the photographer: “Bloodroot is one of the first to blossom, fittingly coming in around the first day of spring. The reddish sap that exudes from all parts of the plant — especially the root — when cut is what gives bloodroot its common name.”
