The source of the sub-surface rings is revealed! Apparently the water doesn't rise evenly, but sometimes "erupts" with extra force, sending out a ring of turbulence that looks like a dust storm viewed from high above -- or a pyroclastic flow. This ring made it nearly to the edge of the pond, but you can see the remains of smaller ones on the pond floor that didn't go quite as far.

The outermost destination of our hike was Union Spring, a crystal clear pool with a sandy bottom that had a couple of bubbling upwellings at the bottom, surrounded by faint rings several meters across.

Huskies Zeena and Tonttu lead the way out onto a wood dock that juts out into a small pool of turquoise blue water. Dark evergreens rise from the far and right side of the pond, and thick low alder border the sunny side on the left.Looking down into the spring pool from the end of the dock in the previous photo. A lone tree trunk just out under the water, covered in draping tendrils of algae. At the very tip of the trunk, a faint circle can be seen with ripples in the middle.

A bit of spring action for #SilentSunday

This is the spring that Zeena is standing in, in a previous photo. Video by @twitchydog 's phone-on-a-stick.

More of my favorite buildings around the NC Renaissance Festival. The fourth photo is a Pumpkin Ale by Foothills Brewing, one of my favorites to drink during the autumn season. Make sure you bring cash as the drink vendors do not take credit or debit! Also, make sure you stop by the chimney rolls vendor. There is always a long line, but the chimney rolls are definitely worth it! Plus, it's fun watching the pastries being prepared! Shot in November 2024.

The NC Renaissance Festival has no shortage of cool looking buildings and shops, full of handmade merch! One thing to note is that this particular Ren faire is seasonal and is only open usually around late Sept until mid November. Tickets sell out fast!
