Here are two shots taken yesterday while Gail and I were hiking and birding in the Blue Ridge Mountains close to Asheville, North Carolina. In the first shot you see a number of wild mountain flowers and plants, including a typical wild mountain rhodo. In the second, another rhodo, with a little extra surprise, a beautiful indigo bunting!
Thank you, Steve!

I just love the good weather. All the beauty that is around us is most wonderful.
Have a terrific evening. Big hug.
First of all I want to thank you for the lovely review. I am deeply grateful.
Secondly, I envy you and Gail! What a beautiful place to go hiking. We have had so much rain that it's been impossible to enjoy any outdoor activity… unless of course you are a duck
