Good Blue Ridge Mountain Morning To You

2025-09-03 18:45:00

Good Blue Ridge Mountain Morning To You! The first signs of autumn crispness in the mountain air are so welcome after a long hot summer.

A winding path runs through a misty meadow surrounded by hills under a softening sunrise sky.

Late Summer Day on a Carolina Bay

Eastern North Carolina is dotted with hundreds of mysterious lakes and ponds known as the Carolina Bays. They are all elliptically shaped and oriented along the same directional axis. Cypress trees like this are common. The water ranges from tannic rich resembling soy sauce to crystal clear.

Today we see these tobacco barns slowly falling apart as we drive through Eastern North Carolina. The day is coming when they will all be gone and another connection to the place we were born will be lost. Good riddance? Probably, but what is part of our past is still part of us.

Three red-roofed buildings are nestled among trees near a grassy field and a reflective pond.

I heard you like sunflowers

"Don't Do It" by The Band

Listen on Apple Music

What is a song that instantly energizes you? It's gotta be Don't Do It by The Band. Oh man, a bass line from Rick opens the tune, these guys bring in a horn section, then Levon starts singing and I can't sit still. I'm not a Robbie Robertson fan, but I'll give him some grudging respect for the lyrics. IDGAF if this song is over 50 years old. It's got what it takes to bring the boogie!

Ocean Isle Beach, NC at Dawn

2025-08-18 18:05:00

This photo captures so many classic elements of the Carolina coast: the fishing pier, the sun rising over the Atlantic, the shrimp trawler that’s been at it all night and the big flock of shore birds. Y’all need to come see us and get some of this goodness! (Ocean Isle Beach, Brunswick County, NC)
