2024 CWWC: November Week 3 — Any Which Way

Cee’s Which Way My Which Way

I’ve missed Cee so much and know this is a difficult time for her and Chris. Praying for strength and comfort for them both. I’ve been trying to keep up with the Which Way Challenge even though Cee is unable to do so. I encourage everyone who wishes to show Cee our Which Ways. Just post any Which Way you desire and link up to Cee’s Which Way Challenge.

This week I am again posting a Which Way My Way showing Which Ways Coleman and I discovered in Riverside Park and Greenway. My grandson, Coleman and I are beginning to roam around our new neighborhood and town investigating what interesting things and places we can find in the area. Riverside Park and Greenway is just a short walking distance away from our new home. Here are a few shots from our walk through Riverside Park and Greenway.

Coleman and I left our home and turned right out of the driveway; walked to the end of our street (which is curved downhill) and then proceeded to walk across the street onto the Carolina Thread Trail.

The Carolina Thread Trail leads into the Riverside Greenway Trail. We walked the entire length of the Riverside Greenway Trail and even a little bit of off trail hiking. During parts of the hike we were walking parallel to the South Fork Catawba River.

It was a fun enjoyable relaxing day out discovering a (new to us) local trail. Hope y’all have a wonderfully funtastic weekend.

Out of Storms & Marshes

Grows New Life

As Coleman and I were walking along the trail (and even a little off trail) around the Riverside Greenway, I noticed a marshy area where the flood waters were still surrounding many plants and vegetation. Other areas where the flood waters had recently receded were still mushy and difficult to walk through, but Coleman is a trooper and loves to explore everything. With all the devastation caused by the storm and strong winds, I was amazed to see signs of new plant life sprouting in amongst the tremendous amount of leaves near fallen trees. No matter how things may seem, God is in control. New life begins once again.

“The marsh did not confine them but defined them and, like any sacred ground, kept their secrets deep.”

2024 CPC: Reflections

Reflections in the South Fork River

I love capturing reflections, especially reflections in water. Coleman and I just happened to hike along a portion of the South Fork River on Saturday. It was a relaxing time walking along the (new to us) Riverside Greenway in Cramerton which runs alongside the South Fork River. We saw quite a few amazingly beautiful reflections in the river. Here an only a small portion of what I managed to capture with my iPhone.
