So I went to pick up my Youngest daughter from a sleepover in Blowing Rock this morning. I use the term morning loosely since the time was almost 11:30am. She wasn't awake yet. So, after I screamed in her ear I went outside to explore the surroundings. This view (above) was nearby. Yeah, I know, her friend's house really sux, doesn't it? In anycase, I got out my 200mm lens and my 1.4x teleconverter so I could smush all the ridges together. The view is looking southeast-ish. I'm not sure how it looks on your monitor, but the dingy looking strip near the top is most likely pollution/haze. Still, it is all quite purty.
For the record: The sausage/cheese balls were disappointing. The fudge was not.
Tomorrow I hope to sneak in an hour or so of reading your blogs. I hope to be able to comment as well. I can't wait. I miss all of you. Really.
