As the "domestic" (as I call them) cherry trees begin to bloom here in Upstate South Carolina I felt confident enough in the coming warmth to look back at some of my winter shots! This shot is from one of my favorite vantage points looking out onto the sheer side of Whiteside Mountain and out into the headlands area of the Chattooga River and Upstate South Carolina. I had high hopes of catching this scene with the warm glow of the morning sun lighting up the mountain side while it was covered with fresh white powder this winter. However, work and truck repairs and other various life duties ultimately got in the way. I'm just lucky that I even live near these sorts of places and that I have the flexibility in my schedule to enjoy them--it was another great year and I'm looking forward to the spring blooms which have already started here in Upstate South Carolina.
