Saturday Frolics...

3 Good Things:
Recent rains
have caused
little tributaries to
run strong.
Top:
A stream
flowing into
the New River
runs strong
and looks much
like flowing
chocolate!
This rushing
noise was
the backdrop
for a concert
in Todd, N.C.
where the
87 year old
(blind) singer
/songwriter
/guitarist
Doc Watson performed
live for a group of about
100 near Todd General
Store (Middle Shot.)
Bottom:
On the way
out of the valley,
geese frolic
in the cool
running water.
And a
good time
was had...by all.

Morning Skywatch...

Bringing it for you-
Friday the 20th!
Top:
Wispy morning
clouds driven
by the high
winds; painting
the morning
sky-perfect.
:)
Next:
Wormy sacks
getting ready
for Halloween...
on the trees
in N.C.; N.C.
is the most
'Halloweeny' place
that I have
ever lived in!
Especially the
worm sacks,
the giant
spiders
and the
moon
at night in
October.
They
invented
'spooky,'
haunting
skies here!
Bottom 3:
Behold...
Sunrise.

Mr. FuddyDuddle

This is a previous
subject (study)
I have saved
from another area
(Florida)
that I haven't
yet shared.
I nick-named
this ol' fella'
'Mr. FuddyDuddle'
because I thought
that he had obvious
character and charm.
Well- he charmed me!

Quaint Damascus, Virginia

Beautifully cared
for Damascus home;
definitely most
photo worthy.

Perfect lighting
on a bridge
that is on the
Appalachian trail
in Virginia.

Passion Flower

Previous
flowers
that
I have
met in
my life.

Summer Views

Top:
Lovely range
near Mount Mitchell
in the summer
Middle:
Potatoes we dug
up yesterday!
We have many
more to come folks!
(Although they
are speckled and do
come in all shapes
and strange sizes,
they are super
smooth and creamy;
they fry UP well to a
crisp which is
potato perfection :) )
Bottom:
Our little eggplant
and I'm not to
sure what all else!
How are your
gardens
-right now-
(if you are
fortunate
to have one
I wonder...?)
:)
Do have a great
and a truly
wonderful
day(!!!)
and weekend
'ya all!

The rocky trail

The trees
in the forest

amazing.

Shroud

...of mist;
day

Gray

We have
been
surrounded
by heavy veils
of fog moving
in since last night.
Alas, it is 61
degrees here
on the very first
day of August
in the High Country.

The
Painted trees...
across
from
where
we live.
