- The photos today are from a walk at Chatuge Dam in Clay County, North Carolina, when I was there July 4th weekend. I took so many photos, I just have to share a few more. You would have to click to enlarge to see the wild blackberries growing on a vine there. They looked pretty beside the Queen Anne's lace - a much more beautiful name for the wildflower than its technical name
Daucus carota. When I was a young bride-to-be, the mother of my best childhood friend made centerpieces for the tables at a party they threw for me, out of pink roses and Queen Anne's lace she picked from the side of a road nearby. I always think of Maxine when I see them.
- The trail runs alongside a campground and I just managed to snap a shot of sailboat with its colorful sail, sailing gracefully out on the lake. Click to enlarge.
- About 1/2 mile left until the end of my walk when I'm at this point - emerging from the shade of the pine trees. My car is at the end of that paved drive. It was a beautiful day.
This week - three sisters from three different states are converging for our annual sisters weekend. And we're going to the place we love best - the house by the river. There is really no way to read blogs when I'm there, so I'll catch up when I return. Have a great week!
