Improvements to view beautiful Kangaroo Falls is complete. Workers have finished four wood-framed steps and railing for residents and their guests to enjoy a safe trek to behold the unique waterfalls. The Common Area Committee oversaw the project and reports the wood as pressure treated 6×6” posts with the railing made from black locust trees harvested in the area. As a bonus, the stone steps on the other side of the approaching gravel driveway above are also now improved. The work crew moved a large flat rock from top of the grade to below the bottom step, making access easier.  Some dirt was removed that partially covered the two stones at the top of this stairway, making footing more visible and secure. Enjoy the adventure and view this treasure in the neighborhood.

We love looking out our windows, you never know what beauty is there to behold. Residents want to share with you what they discovered during Autumn 2021.

New resident Carla captured colorful sights recently outside her back window. She and husband John recently moved to Somersby Park from Charleston’s low country. From sea to mountains, they’re enjoying it all with higher elevation and nature’s evening glow.

From wildlife visits to swinging away carefree, the signs of Spring can be found around here.

Somersby Park experienced ‘thunder ice’ overnight, Thursday, February 18, says our own weather expert Dan, photos courtesy of him too . As USA Today reports, it’s basically a thunderstorm during freezing rain or sleet. https://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2018/02/22/forget-thundersnow-theres-thunder-ice-central-u-s/363534002/

Residents woke up to clearing skies above a white blanket all around.

Residents like Jane woke up to discover a brilliant December red sky. She captured these stunning photos and shared with us. Such a scene from the east indicates a high pressure is moving away and coming from the west could be a low and associated storm. Thus the ole saying, Red sky at night, sailors’ delight. Red sky at morning, sailors take warning.

Blazes of yellow and red fill the mountainsides of Somersby Park with beautiful Carolina blue skies above.
