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?

The geese and ducks


At noon, very few geese are around...and this poor guy seemed to have an injured wing...at least one feather was sticking out a bit to the wrong direction.

And then dog-walkers came by, and the goose just waddled down the grass of the dam, not getting in the water, not flying.

Some mallards playing in the shallow waters.



Along with white geese (ducks?) and a few mallards, this little black coot? wanted to join the group.

    The robins have returned. I expect the geese will shortly although some probably stayed for the winter -- silly things.
