Blue Ridge Parkway
I had the opportunity to travel into the Blue Ridge Mountains via the Blue Ridge Parkway during my vacation last month. We left my parents home in Catawba, South Carolina and headed west to the Forest Heritage Scenic Byway just outside of Brevard, North Carolina. Our first destination….Looking Glass Falls. I featured a photograph of the falls last week with my daughter and her friend…the above photograph was another favorite of mine. As I took my photographs, the girls took the time to take their own as well. After we enjoyed our time at the falls, we headed up the byway to the Blue Ridge Parkway. This parkway has always been a favorite of mine….riding the tops…

Outside My Window ~ 2.6.11
Outside My Window…is another gorgeous Sunday morning. We have blue skies, sunshine and 45°F at 11:15 a.m.. Our high today won’t be much warmer than it is right now…a little chilly but hovering around our average temperature and it doesn’t feel too bad in the sunshine. We did have quite a bit of rain yesterday morning ~ key word, rain. We have been fortunate to miss the ice and snow everyone else seems to be getting but there is a chance of snow this coming Thursday. That is several days off so I won’t be worrying about it for a few days. I am thinking…about all the things I would like…

5/52
The theme for Project 52 this week was Muse. This was a bit tough this week…..so I went with this image of Cailin. I took this during a dinner outing with my mother, sister and daughter this past week. With my Nifty 50. At Applebees. They have the.worst.lighting.ever. A weird, orange alien like glow. Lightroom helped me bring it back to life….and that made me smile. {Fabulous program by the way}

Outside My Window ~ 1.16.11
Outside My Window…is cold and dark. At 8:45 p.m. it is 34°F but feels like 29°F. Cold….cold….cold….every day….Cold. I shouldn’t complain too much because we aren’t buried under snow and ice…we have had lots of sunshine and our temperatures are hovering around average….Cold. It doesn’t help that I got my sticker shock electric bill a few days ago for the last month. I literally gasped when I saw how much it was. I keep my house a little cooler than most….my youngest complains about being cold all the time….we put on sweat pants and long sleeves. I can’t even imagine how much it would have been if I had the…

Outside My Window ~ 12.5.10
Outside My Window…at 6:45 this evening is 36°F, feels like 30°F. Our forecast low for tonight is 27°F……brrrr. It has been rather chilly these past few days. It snowed last night ~ not so much, only about 1/4 of an inch…but snow all the same. Unfortunately I have been under the weather the past few days so I didn’t get out early this morning to capture an image of the snow before it all melted. It was a beautiful day today albeit a chilly and windy one. It will continue to be cold throughout the next week…guess winter is here to stay. I am thinking…that I’m way over feeling bad and want…

Outside My Window ~ 10.10.10
Outside My Window…is a beautiful afternoon. Currently at 2:45 p.m. EDT, there are blue skies, sunshine, a slight breeze and 82ºF. Yes….82ºF. Tomorrows forecast is 89ºF with sunshine, blue skies and a slight breeze….as all the days will until Thursday when it will go down into the 70’s. Come back Fall…I like that transition period between summer and winter when the weather cools down to just right and the nights are a bit chilly….excellent for sleeping. I don’t want to go from summer into winter! I am thinking…about my youngest and my Jeep. Today is her big day….her day to finally drive without mom in the car. She is a good…

Leaving The Nest
My oldest baby bird is trying out her wings….on her own. We raise them to do this….leave the nest….spread their wings and fly. *Sigh*

Baby Mine
Baby mine, don’t you cry Baby mine, dry your eyes Rest your head close to my heart Never to part Baby of mine Little one when you play Pay no heed to what they say Let your eyes sparkle and shine Never a tear Baby of mine If they knew all about you They’d end up loving you too All those same people who scold you What they’d give just for the right to hold you From your head down to your toes You’re not much, goodness knows But you’re so precious to me Sweet as can be Baby of mine Happy 19th Birthday….My Sweet Big Girl I love you……..Mom…
