Betsy and I traveled to the Pisgah Inn on the Blue Ridge Parkway of North Carolina in October to enjoy the autumn colors. We found colorful trees, although there was not as much as we had hoped there would be. Mother Nature, however, more than made up for any lack of color on the trees by providing gorgeous color in the morning skies.
We got up at dawn each day to enjoy the show. The morning started with a single star shining down as the horizon turned a brilliant orange and red.
As the light increased we could see fog in the valleys below and mountain tops in the distance peeking through the fog.
The eastern sky slowly filled with yellow, orange, and gold colors, silhouetting some trees along the ridge line.
Yes, we definitely found some gorgeous colors in the mountains of North Carolina!
