Went down Bear Creek for a ways inside the Little River Canyon today. It was my first time exploring these falls. Found a nice swimming hole possibility that will have to be investigated when warmer.

I generally don't do selfies, but trimmed off three months on the beard and caught a cool little yellow sun flair on accident over my heart chakra, leaning next to a favorite tree of mine that died this year and will need to be cut down soon. From my Xmas day walk about.
