Beautiful Snail enjoying Reedy Cove

Andy and Christy invited me on an adventure along Reedy Cove Creek in search of waterfalls, wildflowers (specifically Oconee Bells which were rumored to be blooming in the area), and whatever else we might see.
 
Since they were wanting a late start, I decided to spend the morning exploring on my own.  It felt delightful having Reedy Cove Falls (aka Twin Falls) all to myself during the golden hour of the morning!

Once other humans started arriving, it was time to move on and meet the others.
 
In addition to Andy, Christy, and the dogs (Boone and Kona);  Jen, Brenda, and Beth would also be joining us on our journey up Reedy Cove Creek.
 
Unfortunately, Andy and Christy's part of the adventure was cut short due to a sprained ankle, leaving Jen, Brenda, Beth and me to continue the adventure on our own. 
 
We never did find any Oconee Bells. However, the most amazing snail I have ever seen more than made up for it :-)

Note:  My map calls this one Euphoria Falls.  
However, I was told that Euphoria Falls might actually be further downstream.
