I never cease to be amazed at the variety of insects and crawly things we encounter on our walks. This guy was in a surprisingly big hurry to get across the trail when Regie and I were walking Abner and Spencer in an area of the estate called Arbor Trace.

The photo below is actually of the Bass Pond but a side that I have never shot or posted before. This is the far side of the bridge where the creek either flows into or out of Biltmore Forest.

And this shot is of the old market building where the public used to come to buy produce from Biltmore when it was a functioning farm. The enormous field around it is one of the ones planted in soybeans for the second year in a row. Apparently after each year of corn, they plan soybeans for two years because it helps replenish soil nutrients.
