It has become our family tradition the past few years to spend a week in January at our dear friends' cabin in Andrews, North Carolina. The cabin sits in a beautiful area called the Land of Living Water that borders on the Nantahala National Forest. It has become sacred time for our family to reconnect, to rest, and to be renewed after the busy holiday season. I have particularly enjoyed our drives down the scenic byways and my hikes near the cabin and the opportunities they bring for practicing my favorite Sabbath activity...photography.
This trip we ventured out to locations where we've not been before. Our first day we drove the Cherohala Skyway, through parts of Tennessee and North Carolina.

| My daughter, Gabrielle, gets the photo credit for this shot of Bald River Falls from my old Nikon...she's taking up the hobby, too. |

| Another shot by Gabrielle...hers is better than all of mine at Dry Falls. |
When we weren't venturing out, we stayed close to the cabin where the scenery was equally beautiful and awe-inspiring.
