and, sometimes you go back

During our first trip up to Tryon and Saluda we began to lose the light....it was already fairly late in the day and the sun was slipping behind the "mountains."  We decided the views were worth getting up before the sun on Sunday and doing it all over again.  The day dawned with a spectacular sunrise that we were not in place to capture, then the early clouds began to burn off.  As we got higher into the mountains, the temps dropped into the 30's with a very brisk wind....We weren't all dressed for the weather, but did take some lovely pictures.

This view is just outside Saluda heading west.  There is a lovely view of about 180 and a farm driveway perfect for viewing.  As you can see, the color was perfect.

Art and Architecture 2

This picture is from Orlando last week. Lovely day, lovely view. Glass can make beautiful art. How nice to walk down a busy street and see this! I do have to wonder how many birds fly into this building???

Sunday rambling

This is the beautifully restored Campbell's Covered Bridge outside Landrum, SC. Off the beaten path, but if you follow signs to landmarks, you find places like this. When we explore the backroads and alleyways, we slow down and look around us. Way back when we were young and everyone seemed to have more time, we would take rambling Sunday drives and discover the hidden beauties.
