The Leaves Are Changing in Maggie Valley and Waynesville!
October 7th, 2008 Categories: Things to Do
Early morning temperatures in the 30’s last week here in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina have prompted the leaves to start their show, exhibitionists that they are. This photo was taken in Maggie Valley Sunday (October 5th). Waynesville is also being painted with spectacularly vibrant leaves, so fire up your Airstream, or your old man, and head to the mountains to catch the show.

Rotary Club of Waynesville Captivated by Raptor and Black Snake.
September 13th, 2008 Categories: Community, Developments and Subdivisions, Things to Do
Our Rotary Club of Waynesville meeting Friday was held outside at the Waynesville Country Club instead of our normal inside location, for a couple of good reasons (a raptor and a snake), courtesy of the Balsam Mountain Preserve Nature Center.
As part of the Balsam Mountain Trust, the Balsam Mountain Preserve Nature Center at Balsam Mountain Preserve documents and preserves the natural as well as cultural history of Balsam Mountain. View the Nature Center site map here. The Nature Center presents programs, when asked, educating the public about the Balsam Mountain Preserve Nature Center and the ecosystem on Balsam Mountain.
A beautiful raptor and a rather large black snake kept the attention of Rotary members and guests during the Nature Center’s presentation.

Balsam Mountain Preserve is also a spectacular place to live — 4,400 acres set in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains! See their Portfolio of Homes.

‘Real Estate’ in Maggie Valley and Waynesville Can Be Very Colorful!
September 12th, 2008 Categories: Community, Things to Do
Late yesterday afternoon I decided to look for signs of Fall in and around Jonathan Creek so I could share more pictures of the beginning of the changing of the season from Summer to Fall here in Haywood County, North Carolina. Once again I ended up visiting Boyd Mountain Log Cabins and Tree Farm, expecting to find displays and beds of early Fall foliage and colors that I could photograph. Look what I found (with not a House For Sale sign in sight)!
Imagine staying in one of their cabins and waking up surrounded by such beauty, and scoping out your Christmas tree at the same time! See their cabins here.
