 | Photo by Glynn Wilson | | Peak autumn color in the Blue Ridge Mountains along the Blue Ridge Parkway just north of Marion, North Carolina. This is the view from the Switzerland Inn where we had a wonderful buffet breakfast of scrambled eggs, crisp mountain bacon, grits, fruit and bisquits with gravy. Notice the fog in the distance rising from the valley. Also, notice the green Carolina hemlock tree on the left, endangered by the woolly adelgid, an invasive insect from Asia. We are filing in the afternoon from the Blue Moon Bookstore on Upper Street in Spruce Pine, North Carolina. Watch for more photos and words on Sunday. It's another cool, quiet night in the valley and words can't yet describe it. You just have to be in the middle of nature's show and taste the apples, smell the wood smoke and see the train coming through the pass in the dark above the lake from the porch... |

What a lovely photo journal you have done! I'm planning on moving to North Carolina in the autumn of 2008 and after seeing your photos and reading your comments, I want to go NOW. Thank you for posting this journal on the internet.
