Shoal Creek

A stream flows through the woods and over the shoals at Shoal Creek Preserve in Florence, Alabama. During our visit to Shoal Creek Preserve, we stopped on a footbridge that ran over the flowing water. This was the actual Shoal Creek that the preserve was named after, by the way. These are different shoals than the ones seen in the previous Shoal Creek photo, in case you were curious, as these were a little more up the creek from the first location. And although the colors suggest an autumn scene, this photo was taken on the first day of February, very much in the winter.

Water flows over the shoals in the creek at Shoal Creek Preserve in Florence, Alabama. While we were in Florence, Alabama1, for our church marriage retreat, we were looking for something to do in the free time that we had. Hiking is our thing, so we found a trail at Shoal Creek Preserve and gave it a try.
