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?

Icy waters 2

A side streamlet comes into Flat Creek in Montreat, NC.  Because it's south facing, there's no ice on this sunny day.

Look through the Rhododendrons and you can see some ice lingers in shady spots in the main stream.


Today's Quote:



Love is...like a spring coming up out of the ground of our own depths. "I am gift." 
All that I am is something that's given, and given freely. Being doesn't cost anything. There's no price tag, no strings attached.

    We have a bit of ice lingering . . . but it's not very pleasant to be out -- fog all day.

    I like how the ice is still hanging on in the bubbling waters!
