Happy Beltaine

 

As I mentioned yesterday, this is Flat Creek flowing by Ole's restaurant and the motel. It then goes under US 70 and behind a U-Hall place, and comes out near the Friends Meeting House.


And now Flat Creek becomes the Swannoa River, after  another creek joins it. Then a bit downstream, the northfork creek joins it as well.

I hadn't seen this sign before. 


The front entrance to the Friends Meeting House in Black Mountain, NC. The Swannanoa River flows around 3 sides of the property.

Today's quote:

What is wild cannot be bought or sold, borrowed or copied. It is. Unmistakeable, unforgettable, unshamable, elemental as earth and ice, water, fire and air, a quintessence, pure spirit, resolving into no constituents. Don't waste your wildness: it is precious and necessary.
