Black Mountain

The greening of the mountains from Tanbark Ridge overlook, elevation 3175 feet, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina. The road seen in upper left is the parkway as it continues northeast. Can you see the little houses, including my favorite, the red roofed one?

Short blooms

first the weeping cherry on the corner a week ago...

And the Bradford Pear across the street

With lots of sun and warm days, they didn't last a week, and are sadly dropping petals all over.

Today is rainy and we've got some cooler weather now, so perhaps the next round of blooms will last a bit longer.

    You mean that is what is will be like. Short lived. How beautiful now but sad it will be so short.

    So glad you took as you did. They are beautiful.

      Last year we got to enjoy both those trees more than a week, this year it was barely a week.

So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
