Watch Your Step

 The Photos below are from our hike to Spruce Flats Waterfalls in the Great Smoky Mountains.

“Watch where you step
                            For where you step
                                      May lie
                            In the circle of danger
                                  Or friendship
                                  Or happiness
                                  Or goodness

                           Watch where you step
                     Watch where your mind wanders
                        Watch what you think about
                               Watch your future
                             Because it will help you
                 Become the person you dream of being

                            Watch where you step
                             It changes your future
                               It changes your fate
                                 Listen to others
                          They will guide your walk
                              Like signs on a road
                        They will tell you where to go
                                   Where to step

                            Watch where you step
                    In order to achieve your dreams
                   And make the impossible possible

                           Watch where you step
                                  Be cautious
                             It'll help you prosper
                        In the future of your dreams

                          Watch your step closely
                       Like a hawk eyeing it's prey
               One moment your mind will be aware
                           Of what you're doing
                          And the next moment
                                     It will not

                              Watch where you step
                              That's the only way
                            You'll get what you want
                           If you're nice to somebody
                                       If you care
                                If you respect others
                               It all revolves in a circle

                             So watch where you step
                                To have a happy life
                                Think before you act
                                   And you'll always
                                           Prosper” Anika, 10

Have a Great Day….

Clingmans Dome (On a Clear Day) from My Quality Time

  At 6,643 feet, Clingmans Dome is Great Smoky Mountains National Park's highest point. It is the highest point in Tennessee, and the second highest point east of the Mississippi. Only North Carolina's Mt. Mitchell (6,684 feet) rises higher. READ MORE

Linda and I were at the summit of Clingmans Dome on Easter 2015. A group of Christian Chinese from Atlanta sang “Glory To God” in Chinese on this beautiful day. (so says the ranger))

One of World's Coolest Observation Decks

A big “Shout Out”  to everyone from Joe Todd & Linda from the Summit of Clingmans Dome. ( Linda is so beautiful I try to keep her in the shadows so she doesn’t “steal the show” LOL)

Today was a clear day,but the ranger said,” The sky is battered by some kind of weather condition - rains and drizzles and nebulous fogs at least fifty percent of the time.”

Maybe a Sky Watch Friday post or maybe not. I always feel a little bad if I don’t get around to other great skywatch posts to comment.

Have a great day…..

Skies Over Andersonville National Cemetery

“Andersonville National Cemetery was established to provide a permanent place of honor for those who died in military service to our country.”

 

“The initial interments, beginning in February 1864, were trench burials of the prisoners who died in the nearby military prison. In fourteen months, nearly 13,000 soldiers were buried here.”

 

“Today the cemetery contains nearly 20,000 interments. Burial locations can be located online using the Nationwide Graveside Locator.” READ MORE

Fort Frederica & The War of Jenkins' Ear #Georgia

 A Quality Time Wandering

Fort Frederica & The War of Jenkins' Ear (known as Guerra del Asiento in Spain)

 Fort St. Simons (see above map) is located at the southern end of St. Simons Island. The fort stood at the site of today's St. Simons Lighthouse  A cannon aims out over St. Simons Sound to commemorate the site.

I had never heard of this particular war…. “The 1742 Invasion of Georgia was a military campaign by Spanish forces, based in Florida, which attempted to seize and occupy disputed territory held by the British colony of Georgia. The campaign was part of a larger conflict which became known as the War of Jenkins' Ear.”

Located on the interior coast of Georgia's St.
Simons Island, Fort Frederica National Monument preserves the remains of one of the most impressive British settlements ever carved from the American forests.

Behind the cemetery and through those woods you have what is left of the “Old Military Road”

Useful Links: Battle of Gully Hole Creek & Battle of Bloody Marsh 

Have a great day and keep both your ears on your head…
