I suppose I should have labeled the first post as Part I but…I neglected. Oh, well… All photos are my personal collection except the very last one. ~Vic

Tuesday Trek Image One — 03-12-2019
Portrait angle of the same flower gathering.

Tuesday Trek Image Two — Opposite angle of that big tree.

Tuesday Trek Image Three — Setting sun.
Another flower group.
Bizarre rock pile beyond that.

Tuesday Trek Image Four — There are so many trails that run along the Eno.
So many lovely views…

Tuesday Trek Image Five — I can almost feel the sun’s warmth from this shot.

Tuesday Trek Image Six — Odd porcupine-looking tree formation.

Tuesday Trek Image Seven — What’s left of the old Eno River Pumping Station.

Open Durham Image Eight — Image Credit: opendurham.org
You can see the rock formation I had to climb over on the right.
All that’s left is the base.
Circa 1905
