Pictures from the NC Wilderness

TGIF!! Friday in Blowing Rock is looking awesome so far! About 68 degrees, sunny, and downtown is bustling! I have so much to do and not enough time to do it in...I just need a few more hours in my day and two more days a week!

Anyhoo, here are some pictures of some of the natural scenes in the NC wilderness that are definitely worth taking a look at. It is hard to choose out of the 200 pictures we took yesterday, but here are some of the creeks that pass through.

From low lying streams to high mountain peaks, there are plenty of places to get great pictures of the mountains and the environment.

Below is a rare site these days in the mountains, we found a Ruffed Grouse (Bonasa umbellus) sitting in the trees. I find them around my house a lot, when you see them on the ground they kind of look like little chickens, especially when you see them run and walk.
