I hiked along Big Creek for several hours last Saturday afternoon.  Big Creek is a tributary of the Pigeon River running along the North Carolina – Tennessee border.   Beautiful location.  I’m sure it will be even prettier in a few weeks when the rhododendrons are blooming.

I went there not for the flowers, however, but for the water (click image to enlarge). To me, nothing evokes the sense of well-being and wonder that a flowing creek does.

Here are two videos I shot.  The first spot is a great place to have lunch.  The second is at Mouse Creek Falls (left).
