Weekend Walk Arounds

This is one of my favorite times of the year.  In the mountains of North Georgia the mornings and evenings are cool enough for a fire in the fireplace on the porch; but, the warmth of the days has awakened the flowers in the garden and the wild flowers in the woods.

                                       

     On my weekend walks 

       over the last few weeks,  

       I have seen:

            and the hillsides are 
     painted  with cascades of pink 
               Rhododendron and 
                   Mountain Laurel.

The peace and beauty of these woods fills me with  a sense of wonder and gratitude; and, I am renewed by the vibrant energy of life displayed here.
