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?

Mountain ridges

 Yesterday I watched ice form on the ridgetop in the afternoon.  And this morning I watched the sunrise hit the same ridge, but this time from my bedroom window.

 I'm aways in awe of people who get out and take sunrise photos.  This is as close as I can!

 There are just a few leaves still stuck on the branches of the trees.  I can't see the ridge at all when the trees have full foliage in the summer.

 Then at noon I drove out of the complex to go to lunch, and enjoyed the dusting of ice at the higher elevations.  I was grateful we didn't get snow or ice like many people had last Thursday who lived in higher elevations.

It doesn't take much to make me pull over and take a photo.

I hope you have a great day today!
Here's a quote to consider:
Grant me daily the grace of gratitude, to be thankful for all my many gifts, and so be freed from artificial needs, that I might lead a joyful, simple life.
