Carolina in the Evening

August(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.)

If you've visited here very often, you could be forgiven for coming to the conclusion that Betsy and I very much enjoy the mountains. These particular mountains are near Franklin, North Carolina. This picture was taken while sitting on the deck of a cabin in the early evening.

Nothing could be finer . . .

Colors on Monday: Green

(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.)

Jen at Unglazed is hosting a mini meme, Colors on Monday. This week's color is Green.

When I think of 'green' I think of the Spring grass in our lawn, the new leaves coming out on the trees and the spring flowers growing in our flower beds.



The terraces of Bali showed different shades of green. (The picture above was scanned from a slide.)



But my favorite green is the green socks Betsy wore on our first visit to Fall Creek Falls when we were first dating back in 2001.

Nine Dragon Screen

The Nine Dragon Screen is the oldest and largest glazed screen in China. It was made over 600 years ago of 426 specially-designed glazed bricks and is about 149 feet long. It is in the Palace Museum (Forbidden City) in Beijing. The area in front of the screen was being renovated when this picture was taken.

Moon Over the Glade

We have a full moon over the Glade this week, but I'm cheating with this picture. I snapped this back in June on another clear night.

Remembering Our Daylilies (3)

(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.)

I have already shared two collages of the daylilies in our yard (here and here). This is the last collage of our spring-blooming daylilies, but working in the yard Monday afternoon, I noticed that at least one daylily is going to bloom again. I can hardly wait.

L'Eau d'Or Falls

L'Eau d'Or Falls is one of five major waterfalls in Tallulah Gorge State Park in Georgia. This waterfall can only be viewed from the rim of the gorge, but is still very beautiful from that vantage point.

Colors on Monday: Yellow

(These pictures can be enlarged by clicking on it.)

Jen at Unglazed is hosting a mini meme, Colors on Monday. This week's color is Yellow.

Nothing says 'Spring' as nicely as a bright yellow daffodil blooming in the sun. This beauty is Brecks Colossal, and blooms in our front yard each spring.

Of course, we also have some yellow roses. When we got home from the beach this Spring we were welcomed by this rose, appropriately named Welcome Home.



This beauty is called New Day, an appropriate name I think.



Midas Touch is the yellow rose we've had longest.
