Abrams Falls

This is a fantastic if not well-known waterfall near Bristol, TN/Va. It's a short hike from the end of Abrams Falls Rd to the main waterfall, but very narrow and dangerous at times. More info and a map can be found here.
I believe the stream must be Abrams Creek, but I can't find a name. While looking for more info, I came across this poster of "Chief Benje Abrams Falls" at allposters.com, but can find nothing on the web about a "Chief Benje Abrams".

A Vulture and some Wild Columbine

When I moved around the edge of the cliff above Abrams Falls to get a closer look at some Wild Columbine (Aquilegia canadensis) this American Black Vulture (Coragyps atratus) flew out from a small cave about twenty feet from me.

A few shots from the lush, green, springtime, forest...


"...a few fronds..."

The first three are maidenhair ferns (Adiantum pedatum) and the last is a christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides).
