A Day on the Parkway

Beth Ann Chiles/ North Carolina, Photography, Travel/ 14 Comments/ 467

Chris plans the best days for me and he planned a day on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Not all of the higher elevations are leafed out fully yet but it was still a fabulous drive and a great day. The rhododendron are beautiful and the Continue reading →

Weekend Happiness

Last week was BUSY! It really does deserve bold capital letters and and exclamation mark. I had things going on every day, all day and multiple events. The weekend was welcomed by both of us and we spent the time enjoying the beautiful spring weather Continue reading →
