Naked Butterfly Ballet in Jonathan Creek, NC.

Riding up to Carver's Crossing in the Jonathan Creek area of Waynesville, North Carolina, Monday for a Broker's Open brought me too close to the Boyd Mountain Log Cabin property not to stop in again to see what new blooms were calling my name.  Sure enough, the beautiful orange and pink of this flower caught not only my eye, but that (or those) of a butterfly.

Synchronized Swimmers on Lake Junaluska in North Carolina.

Last week my photography teacher, Bob Grytten, took his little 'ducklings' out to Lake Junaluska early in the morning to learn more about photography and light.  These geese were not part of our lesson that day, but they were too beautiful to ignore from the shore.   It was obvious that 'birds of a feather swim together...' as the mallards were not mingling in the water with the big guys.

Keep Your Pansies On in Waynesville, North Carolina.

Early yesterday morning I drove to the beautiful Cold Mountain development in Waynesville, North Carolina, to take pictures for an upcoming article. Not only do they have a spectacular garden of voluptuous, fresh vegetables and fruits, they planted some beautiful flowers. The morning dew on the pansies sparkled in the early morning sunlight, and caught my eye.  Wait 'till you see their grapevines!

Cold Mountain in Waynesville is "a place where ecologically sensitive design meets historically inspired architecture."  See the Site Map and Location here.
