Chasing waterfalls

Sunburst Falls, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Sometimes you happen upon one of Mother Nature’s magnificent sites by accident.

My sister and I were driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway, when decided to get off the parkway and find a KFC. We did that a lot during our childhood. While traveling, our parents would get a bucket of chicken (and a box of livers for Dad, cause that’s the only part of chicken he liked) and pull off at a park or roadside picnic table and eat.

We weren’t far off the parkway on Lake Logan Road (aka NC 215) when we noticed cars parked off the side of the road. Almost instantly, we came across this beautiful waterfall. We think it’s called Sunburst Falls. My sister and I got out and took pictures, like the one above. Plus, I made a selfie.

Meanwhile, Tyler, my beautiful Norwegian elkhound, waited patiently in the car. I finally returned, and walked Tyler to the falls. After taking care of some personal business, Tyler, walked along to the falls with me. He seemed more interested in the admiration others were giving him than Mother Nature’s wonder.
