...getting my photo taken...right before she called the cops. EDIT: Just kidding about the cops, that's my wife.

1. On what basis did she call the cops?

2. She didn't.

It just came to me as a caption when I went to post it. I should have said so in the OP.

3. Good shot.

I really liked the one of the hanging fuchsia. Interesting pic. I wouldn't have thought to take a picture at that angle, but then I'm no photographer. Do enjoy this group though. Thanks!

4. Thanks, scottie10.

I've usually got my camera with me these days, even when I'm just sitting on the front porch.

5. my last attempt

We used to take a lot of pictures when we lived "down East" in Washington, NC. We've gotten away from it since moving to Western NC. Here's one I like taken last winter outside our house:

6. That's a lovely image.

My wife and I drove through part of western NC about this time four years ago (mid-May, 2012). We started in Washington, D.C., drove Skyline Drive, then hopped on the BRP down to Linville Falls, then down to Seven Lakes to visit friends. As far as road trips go we really liked North Carolina. The drive from Johnson City, Tennessee over the hills to Grandfather Mountain was like magic on a nice Spring morning.

7. North Carolina

North Carolina is a pretty state from the mountains to the ocean. The climate is good here too. Usually not too extreme, especially in the foothills, and not too far to the mountains or the beach. Did you drive I-40? That stretch of road is beautiful. My husband and I visited a friend in Indiana a few years ago and enjoyed the scenery a lot.

8. We didn't do I-40 on that trip.

Flew from San Francisco to D.C., rented a car, and spent the next 14 days on the road. Stayed mostly on Skyline Drive, then the BRP (with a sideways jaunt into northeastern Tennessee) then cut down to Savannah (via Seven Lakes, and with side trips to Town Creek Indian Mound and Guilford Courthouse). Saw a bunch of other places along the way (Congaree NP, etc.). Got to Savannah, then took the coast road up to the Outer Banks Ferry, then on to Roanoke and Williamsburg. Then on to D.C. and the flight home.

We love road trips, and that was one of the best we've yet taken.

I did drive I-40 after I moved my daughter back to college in Philadelphia. Put her car on a tow dolly behind my truck and took I-80 from northern California to Pennsylvania, got her situated, then did a bit of a Civil War battlefield tour through Virginia, picked up I-40 around Knoxville, then cross-country to I-5 and home.
