Scenes from Grandfather Mountain

[Rex_Tremende]

On Saturday, David and I went for a drive to Blowing Rock, NC, and back, following the Blue Ridge Highway out and the wildly curving Blowing Rock Highway back.

On the way there, we passed a very large grove of rhododendrons that were in bloom (which were in bloom everywhere). We got out for a short hike.

The bushes formed a blooming arch over the path.



I'm disappointed that this photo doesn't really show the mounds and mounds of rhododendron growing up the hillside.



This cluster of flowers on a branch in a beam of light caught my eye.



That's all I have. Hope you enjoyed the show.

Regards,
Rex.

Thanks! If only I could keep it out of my teeth when I eat, though.

I have a pair of scissors you can borrow that will trim it right up.
