Blowing Rock North Carolina

Fall in the North Carolina Mountains

| Flower Roberts

We always make a trip to the mountains in October. This trip is a bit different. There is evidence of Hurricane Helene scattered about. Some sites and trails we usually visit are closed.
The weather could not be more perfect. These lively warm days must be a balm for the many who were terrorized by water and wind.


I will enjoy this time here being thankful that some of the places I love are undamaged and others will be restored by these resilient mountain residents in these precious little towns and the National Park Service.

The Sparks in the Parade

| Flower Roberts

A parade is a show moving by as one stands still. Spectators must pay close attention so as not to miss the small, special elements that give the whole thing its spark. My goal was to catch those jewels among the steady flow.

There is a technique to this scan and zoom kind of photography that is very dynamic compared to taking pictures of flowers in a stationary garden.

Here is a gallery of my favorite special sparks.

I love the Blowing Rock parade!
