My Beautiful Mountain Girl



(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it. Clicking a second time will make it full-sized.)

Betsy grew up in the mountains of southwestern Virginia, and I guess it's true that "You can take the girl out of the mountains, but you can't take the mountains out of the girl." Betsy is always delighted when we visit the Smoky Mountains, and I think she looks radiant in this photo I took in late August as she sat on boulder along Middle Prong near Tremont in the Smokies.

This has been a very hectic time for us with upcoming weddings, Dad's birthday, and work on the house. Betsy and I need a break to recharge our batteries, so, as some of you have done, we're taking a blogging break. We will be away from blogging until October 1. I hope all of you have a very happy and wonderful September.

Peek-a-Boo Moon



(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it. Clicking a second time will make it full-sized.)

Last Friday, the night of the full moon, I was trying to get some pictures of the moon as it was playing peek-a-boo through the clouds on the horizon. This photo is grainy, but I like the colors around the moon.
