North Carolina, Part Cuatro

One of the days during our trip, we went to see our land. This was the first time my grandparents were able to see it in person.

These are just some pictures of the ride there.

And here it is! My camera makes the mountains look sooooo much smaller and farther away than they really are. I remember taking this picture and thinking, "The mountains shrunk!" when I looked at it.

This my favorite tree. I would love to build a tree house in it.

And this is an apple tree right next to it. There are a few apple trees and a few pear trees on our land. There are also a lot of black raspberry bushes!

Here are some more pictures of the view...

We are probably going to cut down some trees to the left and right of the gap to widen the view. Unfortunately, these are the best climbing trees on the entire property!

And here is our loverly pond. Isn't it beautiful? There is another one by the barn, but it dried up because it is not spring-fed like this one.

And look! Color!

My Uncle Mike is studying fish and wildlife in school right now, and he tells us all of the different types of trees and other plants. This is nice because he actually found some poison ivy in the barn! It is a rather old barn; we are probably going to pull it down.

More color...

On the way back to my aunt and uncle's house, we stopped at an overlook on a mountain pass between North Carolina and Tennessee. The sun was setting, and the colors were beautiful!

Isn't our God amazing?
