A small creek crosses under the Blue Ridge Parkway just as you approach the Tanbark Tunnel from the south. But if you pull over and park, you can see this little cascade on the opposite side of the Parkway before it goes under the road.

A gardenia without a brain

 It was very late blooming this spring...

 And now that it's getting cool again!

I gladly picked the first bloom and have loved smelling it on my bedside table.  I find taking several deep breaths clears my sinuses or whatever enough I can enjoy the scent.

  1. ...something that is too tender to grow here, plus it's a bit too fragrant for me.

    1. I have brought this potted bush inside each winter for about 10 years that I've owned it! Sometimes it loses all its leaves in winter, sometimes it just sits there...but I also usually give it a haircut before bringing it inside, so it's not quite so big.

  2. They do smell lovely! I had one for years... I think I gave it to my sister when I moved.
