A bird, a sheep, and clouds

I told my grandson and his girlfriend taht on their cruise in the Caribbean I'd be a seagull watching them.  The joke was that they couldn't tell which gull was really me. He took this photo of the bird, and sent it to me. Who knows what she (the gull) saw, it wasn't me that time!

The Black Mountain Yarn Shop shows a sheep, and there's a possibility one might be confused and think it was a black sheep...

A solar heart in the sky...

The wonderful intersection of the street I was stopped on, US 70 (State St) and crossing of NC 9 (Montreat Rd) gave a view of the Town Hardware on the far corner. And a few clouds up high or in the distance at the edge of the mountains.

Politics, as a practice, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.

When you first arrive

The first decision in Black Mountain is at this intersection...and you probably want to turn right to the Visitor's Center, one block down State Street. (to be featured tomorrow)

May 29 at 11:25 am, the intersection of State St and Montreat Rd has no traffic...so I took a picture!  State St. is also US 70, and Montreat is US 9.  You're looking at the fire station, and the steeple belongs to the First Baptists up the block behind them.

One minute later...

And one week later...
