Smoky and Blue Ridge Mountains

There are so many views along the Blue Ridge Parkway for photographers. It seems that you could stop every quarter of a mile for a different vantage point. This location is near Asheville, North Carolina. It was a very overcast rainy and cloudy day; so no exquisite sky but the mountain range doesn't change and nature always provides shapes and lines that astound me.

Our stop at this beautiful Tanawha Bridge on our way to Rough Ridge. As you can see this is my favorite bridge in the mountains.
The fall semester is well underway at UVA but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on our local natural beauty. I think this young lady has found a good balance.

This ranch land is just a few miles east of Tuggles Gap, Floyd County Virginia. The rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains are very scenic and ideal for raising cattle.

What the Fog! :-)
Sometimes when you lose your way in the fog, you end up in a beautiful place! Don't be afraid of getting lost!

I think now that I’m in the autumn of my life, and I’m getting a chance to look back at my past, I hope I have made a difference in someone’s life, brought a smile to someone’s face, given of my time, leaned over to pick someone up, spoken words of comfort, and given of my heart until it hurt. For in life, these things are the most important….

for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
In actuality this is a sunrise I happen to catch this past winter with one of our last snowfalls. The mist hanging over the valley in the Blue Ridge mountains was incredible.
View on my farm this morning, about 5-6 inches of snow fell.
Some parts of Virginia received over 12 inches.
The temperature the next morning is 11F (-11.6C).
I added fall color to my summer photo hoping it might make it a bit cooler around here! :)

We must protect the forest for those who can't speak
for themselves such as the birds, animals, fish and trees.
