A wee bit of color

 

This sunny jeep actually has plates from Florida. For autumn, many people will come to the Blue Ridge Parkway to see the leaves turning colors.

Well, there was the good old goldenrod. And a few trees starting to show some brownish reds, or greenish yellows. This is looking west from an overlook on our way home (going down the mountain and northeast toward Asheville NC)

Another view looking northwest, towards Waynesville NC.

We turned as we were leaving to capture the buildings and the nice roll of the grass which suddenly goes very far down just the left of these buildings. The Pisgah Inn has some simple double-bed rooms, in the building to the far left, and also in the one which is center left. Housekeeping had a couple of the doors to rooms open as we walked by. Further up the hill (either by steps or ramp) is the building with the restaurant.

This shot shows the most color on the trees, as we sat in rockers and enjoyed the view after lunch.

My selfie includes my friend Teresa, and a bit of the observation deck outside the restaurant.

Once again, Blogger posted my photos in reverse order. We left and saw that jeep at the overlook where we stopped on the way home.

I went back on my diet again the next day! One needs to have a holiday, even from a diet which is good for you, and then be ready to make more delicious things to eat at home.

TODAY"S QUOTE:

The universe is no narrow thing and the order within it is not constrained by any latitude in its conception to repeat what exists in one part in any other part. Even in this world more things exist without our knowledge than with it and the order in creation which you see is that which you have put there, like a string in a maze, so that you shall not lose your way. For existence has its own order and that no man’s mind can compass, that mind itself being but a fact among others.
