Busy Summer, I Am Back

Sorry for my lack of posting, we had a very busy summer plus in all honesty, I was just plain lazy.   But I am back and revamping my blog.

Bob, my sister, brother and myself attended Ambler's family reunion, held in Maggie Valley, NC.  My mother's family is from Asheville.  What a wonderful get together, allowing us to meet many family members. 

Bob and I had a little time to tour the area, Blue Ridge area....so beautiful. 

Blue Ridge Parkway

Mangus Mill

Pretty Flower

Roadside Flowers

I spotted flowers blooming in a field on a back road.  The flowers were slightly spent but decide to take a photo.  I decided to photo paint using Corel Painters Essentials program would not show up the spent blooms. I think it worked!

Roadside Discovery: A Beautiful Rumney, NH Garden

Last weekend riding the back roads of New Hampshire I discovered a beautiful garden in Rumney.  The problem it was mid-day, I had a choice pass up a photos opt or takes a few photos and try to edit and save which I chose.
