| Most people who have traveled the Blue Ridge Parkway
suspect that this photograph was taken somewhere along its route. The
Blue Ridge Parkway extends 489 miles along the crests of the Southern
Appalachians through Virginia and North Carolina and links two eastern
national parks - Shenandoah and Great Smoky Mountains. This image
somehow exemplifies the surroundings of this highway. Late April is a
great time to travel through this area. The Chinese redbud and dogwoods
are bursting with blossoms, and the wildflowers are abundant. I thought
this image typified not only the Blue Ridge, but also the season. By the
way, the robin on the fence was a bonus. I didn't see it when I took the
photograph. |
