This small creek meanders along the BRP north headed toward Deep Gap and West Jefferson. There’s quite a few pull-off’s where you can check it out. I was hoping for some fallen leaves still in color, but it was still a beautiful spot on a cloudy morning

Even the poison ivy has shown color here in the high country.  Sunset shed great light on this transition tree in Valle Crucis.

The pastures and landscapes of this area never stop amazing me. The colors they can produce are irresistible, complimentary, and beautiful.

On Saturday, Grandfather Mountain and the surrounding high peaks received their first snow of the season! The landscapes covered in fall color really made for an exciting day out.

King Street is our “Main Street” and a Main Street project. Our Downtown Development Association is bringing constant improvement. This is a shot just after sunset; still blues in the sky, very little pedestrian traffic and a beautiful light.

I haven’t braved this adventure yet, but it looks like an unbelievably peaceful ride, aside from the occasional turbulence. It’s obviously a way to see some fantastic landscapes and dramatic skylines, like our beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.
