These pictures were taken during a return to the Raven Rock Trail around Jocassee Gorge.
The trail has a beautiful start, even if it seemed different this time. 
Ferns bordered much of the trail. 
The top of this dead tree has a fascinating crown. 
The trail goes down to the shore of Lake Jocassee. 
These stones provide stairs up the hill from the shore. 
A boulder provides a great view of the lake from above. 
This boulder was next to the one providing my aerial view of the lake. 
One more picture of the lake before I head off back to the trail. 
Finally, a look at the green of summer before autumn starts to kick in.
