2014 by the French Broad River

 Tuesday sharing- 

Living in Black Mountain and Western North Carolina...





Two little lovelies, the bright blue and the strange purple fuzzy leaf with tiny pale violet flowers

A strange deciduous tree with tiny pine cones, what is it? (Thank you Tom, it's now known as a Larch!)

Our common violet
A couple of Canada Geese by the French Broad River



the two pairs of geese had goslings around this time last year...but apparently don't even have a nest at this time, since they both are sunbathing.

The same park last year with tiny little fluffs of yellow which proud parents shooed away from us.


 On US 251 between Marshall and Asheville, NC, this little park has a sweet picnic area, shared with geese this time of year.


Today's quote:

There’s an intimate connection between what we eat and how we feel.

  1. The river and park look nice, a great spot for a picnic and a walk. I love the pretty flowers. Take care, enjoy your day!

    1. Not much of a walk I'm afraid...just river and woods all around the picnic area. I dare say fishing would be good too.

    1. Thank you so much Tom. I've kept wondering about it all these years (taken in 2014!!)

  3. A lovely little park. I believe it's the one we took our younger son to (almost forty years ago) so he could have some flat pavement to learn to ride a bike.

    1. It does have a small level parking area. That was really quite a while ago! My kids learned bike riding in cities.

    1. It's a good place to dine al fresco as long as the geese will let you!

  6. For all the mess they make geese are fun to watch.
