Outside My Window ~ June 26, 2016
OUTSIDE MY WINDOW…is a relatively warm day. Current temperature is 76° with 55% humidity. It is a bit muggy outside which is why I am inside. It would probably be a good beach day though. I haven’t been to the beach in a while though….I can’t tolerate the heat and humidity like I once could….or maybe I don’t want to tolerate the heat and humidity any more. It sure does wear me down a lot faster since I have gotten older. Along with the heat we have blue skies, sunshine and some puffy clouds here and there. I don’t believe there is a chance for rain today – or tomorrow…

Friday Flashback
A look at the Grand Tetons….as I saw them 32 years ago. My old, scanned photos don’t really do them justice…. They literally take your breath away. This next image features a portion of the Snake River. A wonderful vacation….Yellowstone, Grand Tetons and the icing on the cake…. …..white water rafting down a section of the Snake River. It was amazing! If you ever get the chance to visit, I highly recommend it. You won’t regret it. 🙂

The Gardens at Biltmore
A few images from the Walled Garden at the Biltmore House, Asheville, North Carolina. These were taken in the upper garden area which features the flowers. The shrub garden is located near the conservatory but was not in bloom during our visit in early April. The photographs will show you a sample of the gardens but they barely do justice to the actual gardens which are quite breathtaking. Looking towards the conservatory from the upper flower garden. A view of the house from the flower garden area.

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…
