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?

Spring in the 'hood


In just 2 hot days the Bradford Pear tree just decided to shake it up and bloom-forth!
We have some older homes, and some newer ones.  It's a comfortable dead end street.  No kids.  I'm glad of that, because I've already raised mine, and want a quiet neighborhood.  That may change with the turnovers that are about to happen.  I'll see how it is.

    The tree looks beautiful in all its blossom.

    Does the Pear just flower, or does it produce fruit as well?

      They are just ornamentals...and all over the civilized part of Western NC.

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.
