The rest of the day trip to Asheville NC.

 From a few weeks ago...

Street sculpture in downtown Asheville...from the backside. One of these days I'll go around and read the plaque at the base of it, but there were these 2 plaques on my side.

Even with rain, these Bradford Pear blossoms were beautiful...including some little red hearts hanging with them still.

We all did a double take at seeing the fun coloring on this dog, who was eating outside on the covered patio. Black & tan met Blue Tick.

A silly selfie of our threesome at the Laughing Seed restaurant. We proceeded to be a bit silly, drink warm beverages, and eat lovely vegetarian fare. Big thanks for gift certificate!

While my decaf coffee was brewing a fresh pot, my friends enjoyed these pretty little teapots for their hot teas.

One thing Asheville is known for is lots of different restaurants, many catering to specialties.

But here are some more critters that I met on my travels, just so you all get to see more than the one.

Some visitors to my courtyard.
