Coming back to the mountains of Western N. C. is very close to a religious experience. I still have the most amazing feeling of being blessed to have such sights available to me. The older I get, the more elevated the reaction, standing on Pounding Mill overlook, seeing Looking Glass Rock, and being there for a sun rise. So here are some belated views.
 |
| Looking Glass Rock from Pounding Mill Overlook |
 |
| Pilot Mountain, late-blooming Rhodies |
 |
| Chestnut-Sided Warbler. What a beauty! |
 |
| Blue-headed Vireo? |
 |
| On Don's porch screen. About 5 inches across. |
 |
| Looking Glass Rock, evening |
 |
| The resilience of life |
 |
| Carolina Wren |
 |
| Last morning in N.C. watching the sunrise at Pounding Mill Overlook. |
 |
| And just below the drop-off, a female Indigo Bunting (or a young male) |
 |
| And here is the male, serenading me. |
 |
| Indian Paint Bruse, not common up here. |
 |
| Mountain Laurel |
 |
| Fire Pinks |
 |
| A little bit left of Flame Azalea |
 |
| A curious, and very brave Yellowthroat. |
