[handmade34]

friend took these from my back and front porch last winter... my partner (and I as well must since we work as a team) is retiring so this will again be my real "home" starting December 14th!!!!

1. Makes me almost like snow. The beauty is gripping

especially in the austerity (is that the word for being desolate?) of the second one.
Now that I know your plans, I hope you are happy about them, and the end of the traveling.

2. mixed feelings...

an aside... my plan is to do a thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail starting March 18th... got my pack, sleeping bag, tent, boots and misc this past week... maybe you can join me for a section when I get up to North Carolina

4. what an adventure that will be!

I'm near the lower end of that now--Asheville. Unfortunately I don't have much time to hike, or look around but did go the Blue Ridge Parkway and took a walk.............. for .3 miles! Wish I had more time to poke around.

Love your photos!

7. You are in Asheville!?!?!

Them's my stomping grounds. I hope you are having a whole lot of fun, and are enjoying what I think is hallowed and beautiful ground.

6. Let's talk!

Just found this note from you. Have to wrap my brain around this great idea.

3. second one

The vignetting really sets it apart.
Wish those wires didn't run across it.

9. agree

the winter scenes were taken by the person living in the house for the season...

this is my summer view from a little different angle

12. It won't be long.

We did actually get a little snow last week, but now it's just raining...and raining...and raining. I thought with that red sunset we had last night that today would be fair, but no, we got a strong wind (again) overnight and now it's pouring again. All the local streams are topping out.
