What a lovely view … almost makes me want to take a drive to the mountains around here though it’s HOT today and Southern California’s Coastal Range doesn’t look a bit like your Blue Ridge Mts. … especially in summertime after a drought like the one we’re in. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs and blessings,
