Morning at the Grassy Ridge Mine overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina. April 4, 2012.

In early April Betsy and I spent a couple of nights in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Early one morning we went up to the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was a beautiful day with a gorgeous blue sky, but we could see clouds blanketing the valleys below us. The picture above was taken at the Grassy Ridge Mine Overlook on the parkway.

This picture was taken at the same overlook. The leaves weren’t out yet on the trees, but the clouds in the sky above and the clouds in the valley below made this overlook an enchanting part of our world.

I find it hard to believe, but this is the 1,000th post I’ve done on this blog. When I started, I would never have imagined that it would go on this long. But I do want to say ‘Thank you’ to all of the wonderful people I’ve met who have shared this adventure with me.

The clouds look like soap bubbles, or whipped cream. They sure are thick.
A thousands posts. Wow! It would take me decades. Congratulations!

I am enchanted by your photos!
Clouds are very light as foam.
As such I can stare at the sky for hours.
Wonderful!
