Someone Really Enjoys Snow

 (Note:  This picture may be enlarged by clicking on it using Control-click or right-click.)

Someone (who shall remain nameless) was disappointed that we got very little snow from the storm that came through here last weekend..  We got plenty of wind and cold temperatures, but very little snow.  I had to go back into my archives to get a picture of that happy someone celebrating snow.  I really don’t like snow, but she’s so cute that I couldn’t resist getting a picture.

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

Betsy Enjoying the Sunset

When we go to Mt. Nebo in Arkansas, we stay in ‘our’ cabin where we can enjoy the sunsets from the back of the cabin.  I got this picture of Betsy enjoying the sunset last March.. 

 

 

 

 

Barefoot Landing at Night

For many years Betsy and I visited Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina during the week after Christmas.  One night, a few years ago, we decided to visit Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  That’s where I got this photo of the lights reflected in the lake.

Blue Sky and Palm Trees

For many years Betsy and I would go to Ocean Isle Beach in North Carolina between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  The beach was much less crowded during that time, but the seafood was still delicious.  I got a picture of the palm trees against a blue sky outside our motel a few years ago.  I then used software to make the photo look more like a drawing. 

 

 

Color Around the Lake

This hasn’t been a great autumn for color this year in the Glade.  But I did manage to find some color (admittedly on the dull side) along the shore of one of the lakes here.  Hopefully things will be more vibrant next year.

 

Blue Ridge Parkway Panorama

I enjoy making panoramas of the beautiful scenery we have around here since it is often the case that a single photograph doesn’t do the scene justice.  This is a panorama made from three photos I took on the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina last year.
