Julius Caesar maintains a presence here in SC, at least in spirit. Just a few miles up onto the Blue Ridge Escarpment (where the mountains end and the foothills begin) you will see "Caesar's Head," a Stat Park with some of the best views anywhere in the Southeast. Just below the overlooks you catch a glimpse of "Caesar" as he looks out over his Upstate "empire."   Hiking trails ranging from easy to challenging circle and traverse Caesars Head and adjoining Jones Gap state parks, which together form the Mountain Bridge Wilderness, about 11,000 acres of pristine southern mountain forest.

Speechless Sunday - A Woman, Her Cat, And A Fish
This is painted on a building in Asheville, NC... That is about a 1.5 hour drive from here. We visit Asheville fairly often and always enjoy it. I wish more buildings had paintings like this on them. They are so interesting! It makes me wonder what the artist was thinking when he/she painted it.
