As much as I enjoyed the wildlife float trip down the French Broad, I didn't get a lot of good photos to show for it. The Great Blue Heron in the shot above was very aware of our proximity and every time we got close enough for me to compose a decent shot, he would take off and fly further downstream.

Biltmore House definitely looks different from the river. The shots below look downstream and then upstream from our raft. This is a really pretty time of year to be on the river. The upstream shot shows the tea house at the end of the bowling green from downstream on the river.
