Grandfather Mountain North Carolina

I apologize for not being able to reply to comments right away, and greatly appreciated that you have visited and read my posts.  I’ll be shooting my first wedding this weekend and really excited and looking forward to the event.

We visited Grandfather Mountain in Linville, North Carolina during our last camping trip on Memorial Day weekend.  When they say ‘wonders never cease’, it’s so true when standing on top of the mountain. I had only heard about the Mile High Swinging Bridge from Lee during her school trip, and the term “mile high” refers to the structure’s elevation above sea level (5,280 feet).

My sister teases me about Comet PANSTARRS every time we see a jet tail, I guess I deserved to be teased.

Feeding time for the bears.

I’m sure she had no intention of mooning us.

The squirrels look different from where we live, I notice they have longer ear hairs and bushier tail.

I couldn’t afford to buy souvenirs to bring back these days, but who say you can’t take them back with you.

We stopped by the Blue Ridge Parkway roadside vendor to buy honey.

There are many waterfalls along the highway. This is one of the best trips we had so far, and we hope to visit Cherokee North Carolina next month.

Camping Weekends

We went camping on Memorial weekend, and also the weekend after.

The Memorial weekend was cold and the campground packed with campers.  It really gives you the feeling of what camping is all about.

I think Lee is enjoying the camping life more this year in comparison to last year.

Max loved camping.

I’m not sure what most people eat at camping, as for us we grilled a lot.

Last weekend was warm enough for Lee to go swimming.

Since we camped not too far from Linville, we also went to visit Grandfather Mountain.  I will post the photos next.

Assignment 25: My Photography Passion

This is my contribution to Scott’s Assignment 25: Your Photography Passion.  I have to say that I photograph everything around me whether it be plants, nature, people or events.

I am a gardener and I love to photograph plants, it’s fascinating to see how fast they grow from week to week. I photographed my garden today right before it rained.

I also love to photograph people and sporting events. I had the opportunity to do panning shots of the uni-cycling at Lee’s school yesterday.
