Roaring Run Following a Heavy Rain

I've been trying to shake this dang summer cold for a week and today I thought I'd push the envelope a bit, driving up into Botetourt County in order to hike up Roaring Run, one of my favorite spots.

No matter how often I go up this magic place, it never ceases to amaze me with its natural beauty and today's light--following a heavy rain--was especially grand. I've shot photos of just about every foot of Roaring Run, but today, as always, it looked different than it ever has before. And I love that place. Here is my view from today.
