Eno River State Park

Today was going to be a beautiful day so after breakfast, dear husband and I decided to go hiking.  The Eno River State Park isn't too far away.  

We hadn't been there since last summer.  For some strange reason, I always forget how much I like hiking there.

The trail we were on doesn't cross the river.

The view upstream

I love these stairs.

The sycamore trees looked beautiful against the sky.

I sat on a rock and looked upstream for a while.

Another view

As we started back along the river towards the van, this heron flew downriver and turned into a small stream.  We watched him fishing for a long time. 

The sunlight was beautiful this morning and in the early afternoon.  I felt all filled up with sun by the time we finished, and the hike woke up a part of me that has been dormant since we got back from vacation.

This was the best part of my weekend, and your post was a lovely encore. I would like to hike more soon.

Was this hike where we read Walter Wangerin aloud many years ago?
