WE took a road trip ~12 miles from home~ on Monday December 3.
(5 miles from hustling bustling Downtown Raleigh)
My dear husband is always on the look out for interesting locations to visit
for my blog!! Madi was my inspiration...now Dear Hubby is my Driver and Inspiration
Yates Mill is quite historic and as you can see from the plaques below.

ReplyDeleteWow and double wow, Miss C... these are some fantabulous images!!! YAM xx
that was so intresting... and what a fabulous place with such a giant grinder stone... the mama said she would like to live there... but we think with the constant noise of the water she would spend her life in da bathroom LOL
ReplyDeleteVery cool photos of the Mill, Cecilia. Love the water scenes. What are you using to shoot your photos now? Is that poor Gracie sitting out there????? I am so happy it is melting and it looks like a clean melt. The rain should take care of the rest! Sweet little ginger kitty and white pup in the Ten Gifts. Good Morning!
ReplyDeleteYates Mill is awesome! We have a grindstone in our front yard. They are so cool!
ReplyDeleteHey there Cecilia, that place is awesome, isn't it? Cleo's mom and I took a visiting Pittsburgh friend there recently and got some great photos as well. That dam sure is beautiful. Thank you for your comments about the storm. We did okay, but after 4 consecutive days of shoveling and salting these old arms and back have had their fill for the winter. And now we're worrying about flooding! Stay safe and dry, and have a great weekend over there.
ReplyDeleteI need to use the little girls' room now after all those photos of waterfalls!
ReplyDeleteSo far, we have not any snow and for my part it can stay away until the Christmas holidays. Then it can come as long as it's gone again by the time I get back to work in the New Year! Not picky at all me...

Great photos!! We're okay with NO snow but we like seeing everyone else's photos.

wow and wow again on the inspiring place. I LOVE IT.. so beautiful and only 12 miles. YAY. we found when we had a whole week without Jake in the house we went out every day. when Jake was here we rarely went out. now we have BB and we stay home again. I do wish bob liked to go places like this, but he doesn't. I need a friend who does, but none to be found
ReplyDeleteI’ve always wanted to visit a mill
ReplyDeleteNeat
Happy weekend
What a beautiful place that mill was to visit. You have more snow than we do right now! All our snow is expected to be melted by the end of the day since our temps are getting into the 40's.
ReplyDeleteI would love to visit there. Mills have such wonderful histories. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and weekend, Cecilia. Big hugs. ♥
I love visiting those sort of places with water wheels. The river and falls photos are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat mill sure is amazing, we had one not too far from it but it burnt down several years ago.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place to visit and so interesting. WOW that is some snow you've got all over!
ReplyDeleteA very interesting and beautiful place to visit! Our snow is still here and maybe more to come tonight but then maybe some 40 degree days!!!

It is nice that you got to visit Yates Mill before the Big Snow! So much to see, and a very nice surprise Selfie:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat place to visit! I love water wheels. We hope to do more adventures in the Houston area to share with everyone. It is fun to see other places where I friends live.
ReplyDeleteThat waterfall is amazing! And the weird weather is...well, weird! Hope all of the snow is melted now!
ReplyDeleteAmazing how differently you view the world when you blog....MOL!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool old mill! I pretty much like visiting anywhere with water - lakes, rivers, ocean, you name it!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how you were doing with all that snow. We had a little a few weeks ago, but it is all melted.
What a beautiful old mill! Exactly the type of place I would love to explore with my girls!

I love that old mill, and I agree that the siding is beautiful! You still have some fall color, as I can see from the lake photo.
ReplyDeleteAnd your snow sure melts fast! I hope that you built a snowman ;)
Wonderful photos, you are a great photographer. XO
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful nature C...From the mill wheel to the waterfall...to the snow!
ReplyDeleteWOW!

WOWSA!!! You sure do take some pawsome photos!!! It reminds Ma of when she used to take photos of something other than MOI...heheeeee
ReplyDeleteMa loves the waterfall ones too, great captures!

You find the coolest places!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us on a tour of this magical place. It sounds very peaceful with the running water and the pictures were pawesome.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful tree!!! And that heron looks ready to take off. We were happy to see that even the hawk had to endure the torture of Santa hat wearing:)
