{St. Augustine, FL}

I visited St. Augustine earlier this year and after realizing today that I never posted any of the photographs that were taken, I delved into my archives.  Here are some of my favorites!




 Our Lady of La Leche Shrine




 





 The old brick paved roads of St. Augustine!

The lighthouse illuminated at night during the Ghost Tour!

Spiral staircase leading to the top! 


 So many beautiful trees around town!

FALL FOLIAGE {Blue Ridge Mountains}

I was fortunate enough to take a quick road trip up north to run a race and witness the beautiful fall leaves changing!  I traveled to many quaint places and thoroughly enjoyed my little "photographic field trip"!  Below are some of my favorite pics from each stop along the way, and of course, a "family portrait" with my favorite girl who, despite the temps in the 30's, had an amazing time sniffing around outside!


McCaysville, GA & Copperhill, TN


 The cabin: Copperhill, TN

My boots, JD hat and my Grampy's flannel!




Taking the Jeep up there was fun...even got to use 4WD a few times!

TrackRock Stables: Blairsville, GA
Enjoyed a 2 hour trail ride with the friendly "folks" at TrackRock Stables!  Have always loved horses and being outside in the fresh mountain air was an added bonus!










Still a John Deere girl after all these years!


Cherokee National Forest: Cleveland, TN




 





 


 So many leaves....




Murphy, NC
I ran a race in the small town of Murphy on Saturday.  It is a very cute little place and I liked the vintage signs posted on the side of the "No Name Ice Cream Parlor".  I was especially fond of the Phillips 66 sign I encountered on the way to the start line! 





Sleepy Hollow
A very unique and interesting place located near Blairsville, GA.  This "enchanted forest" is the entrance to a store that sells handcrafted whimsical fairy houses!  It caught my eye from the road and I'm glad I stopped in and snapped a few photos.
