Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

And though snow fell once (maybe twice with rain) already this year, there was no accumulation here. We shall see what comes along in the next year...

Linking to Sepia Saturday, which is going on a break till next year. Oh my! I wish all the readers, and contributors to this nice and interesting meme a happy holiday, and a safe one!

    1. I enjoy those "memory" postings too. Amazing to see what was important to me many years ago. Some I share, and some are really awful!

  2. Hello,
    The Sepia photo is just awesome. Beautiful snowy scenes, I love the frozen waterfalls. Great photos.

    1. I've never seen a frozen waterfall...so glad some other folks (a lot of them it looks like!) ventured out to see this one. This is not on the Blue Ridge Parkway, but very close to it. The Parkway is usually shut down when there's bad weather...they don't bother plowing.

    1. It doesn't look like a whole lot, but it stuck. I remember living in Houston as a kid and playing in the snow with my cousins...once!

    1. I have very few that I've taken of snowy scenes. Back a few years ago I did drive over to the creek to take photos in the snow...not sure I'd do it now.

    1. Yes, there's a lot of problems it dumps on us, doesn't it?

    1. I found it very amazing...one day in January it was almost frozen, then another and it looked pretty much all ice!

    1. Maybe I'll try to get there if that happens again...it's not that far from where I live, maybe an hour's drive.

  10. Frozen Looking Glass Falls are striking! But the rest of the wintery pictures are beautiful too. I was particularly interested in the photo of Greenville, SC as I have a cousin who lives there. :)

  11. As I write this on Christmas Eve there is about 2 inches of snow here in downtown Asheville. Magical, yes. But more beautiful to see from behind a window sitting near a warm fire. Hope you enjoy your Xmas snow too!

  12. No snow where I live, so I especially enjoyed these!

  13. Lovely winter memories, Barbara, with great photos - my favourites Lake Tomahaw and Mount Mitchell. Thank you for your Christmas and New . Year wishes

  14. Beautiful scenes. So very different from the weather we experience at Christmas. This time last year our whole area was devastated by bushfires.

  15. Such different landscape to the one in Australia. That first photo is magnificent!
