North Carolina
As I ventured through those magnificent mountains, I encountered the final remnants of wildflowers, towering grasses adorned with plentiful seeds, and leaves displaying unimaginable hues. Lichens, with their peculiar shapes, clung to the rocks and trunks, adding to the imaginary beauty of the surroundings. Along the riverbanks, I strolled beside waters that shimmered in shades of gold and blue, accompanied by the melodic symphony of the current colliding with rocks. Meanwhile, dry leaves gracefully glided along, resembling small paper boats charting unknown courses.
