Things to know...

about life.

Mountains make...

their own weather.

(So, as best you can, 

you need to prepare yourself...

for the climb.)

I (always) come up against it...

        this mountain.

Grandfather in February

This is nearby Grandfather Mountain as seen this past weekend. 

We actually had a clear, sunny day so I got a photo of the mountain that 

I thought was 'blog worthy' for you! Enjoy!

Can you see the features of Grandfather's face lying down?

Panoramics

Shuffling through my vast collection of photos I found these panoramics that I am in love with.
The drama of the long views of the mountains here cannot adequately be captured (on film.) Hold your breath and look, that should help.

Velvety (Mountain) Ripples...

Through the Trees

Velvet Mountain Ripples Against the Sky

Stunning ripples of mountain
peaks recede into the horizon
and are 'gentle on the eye.'
Taken yesterday on a typical Saturday
sightseeing car ride in the Appalachians
(before the snow flew!)

A Spring Morning Mountain View

This morning, I ventured to the same

location where I photographed wild daffodils

on a mountainside (Blowing Rock.) Last year,

I told a story of how I stumbled down the slope

-here- to procure the photo and then scared

a very large rabbit out of a bramble patch hole.

Ha! I (just) love things like that!

:)

My footing was sure this time.

However, as I carefully took each step down the slope,

I did (again) manage to scare away some wild creature

(probably a deer) who was snorting a wee bit down

the slope in protest to my appearance!

The area was once again, lovely, and this time

I was happy to 'spy' an entire grotto of wild daffodils

in the thicket and down the mountainside!

I thought, what a view God must have of all the

wonderful things...

the 'hidden from (our) sight most luscious and

beautiful things' from His all-seeing aerial view!!

I needed a small plane today to see all the wild

(mountain) daffodils hidden away!

But~~I did manage to photograph some...

and here they are. And If you look very carefully,

you can see that the daffodils are hidden away

in the thicket and down the entire mountainside!

A most wonderful and a lovely thing :)

Yours,

lg

Lit Up

A bright sky and
rolling clouds
made this
mountain top view
just brilliant.
