The blooming catawba rhododendrons accent a colorful sunset over the Blue Ridge Mountains along the Craggy Pinnacle Trail. It was a beautiful way to end the day in the mountains of North Carolina. The rhododendron season is in full swing and always a favorite time of year.

A cold and extremely windy day at Grandfather Mountain in Linville, North Carolina. However, the upside, clear skies and big puffy clouds surrounded the Blue Ridge Mountains. The wind must have discouraged the wildlife, but a pine siskin appeared, along with a red squirrel and a mountain elk that kept its eye on me. There were some blooms amongst the greenery, red columbine, Catawba rhododendrons and I think pink dogwood. No such thing as a bad day at Grandfather Mountain or anywhere along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The Blue Ridge Orchestra gave an outstanding performance under the guidance of Music Director, Dr. Emily Mariko Eng at the Diana Wortham Center in Asheville, North Carolina. The premier piece included Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky, which was also played by the band, Emerson, Lake & Palmer in the 70s. A special salute to concertmaster, Paula Akbar, an incredibly talented musician & a wonderful person too! It was her last performance with the full orchestra. Bravo to all the musicians, especially my son, Dan who played viola!

The hike up Hawksbill Mountain in North Carolina tests your stamina, but the rewards are the gorgeous views of the Linville Gorge when you finally reach the top. I found the rhododendrons were past their prime, but the light was sure pretty at sunset.
