October is a wonder time to visit the Blue Ridge Parkway. This picture was taken at the Pink Beds Overlook near Mount Pisgah in North Carolina.

I look at this, almost fall into the color, and then remember that I am but a month away from being in your beautiful part of the country! All so amazing and grand. Thanks for sharing your world.

Happy Thanksgiving.
