A quick note with full face from Tanbark Ridge yesterday, March 29.  I took my next door neighbor up to our back yard, as she’d never been on the Blue Ridge Parkway.  Her phone has an app which takes panoramas still while mine has quit.

    Love the cat portrait. lazing in the sunshine. If I have to come back to life as something else, I'll hope to be a cat!

    No need for a theme. It's all tied together by your interests.

    What a wonderful selection of images, thank you! I love them all. And oh, Mary Oliver, she always has a line to resonate so much with me! This time it's "I have become older and, cherishing what I have learned, I have become younger."

    That dandelion-lidded jar is a mind blower.

    Looks like the mountains behind you are getting that hue of spring.

      There are a few fields with green growing things in the valley below. It is quite a ways below where I was standing. But I was grateful to see the 2 dogwoods on the way back down the Parkway.

      When an artist has mastered their craft, it’s wonderful to see what their ideas present! In any form!
