French Broad River, NC

An interesting morning on the French Broad River in Western North Carolina the day after heavy rains gave me a winter picture full of grays & blues & mauves. I'm sure the water was cold. It was certainly rushing down out of the mountains at quite a clip. The French Broad River got its name because the river flows north toward historically French owned land and because the river is so broad (wide).
