A relatively new rose for us is Bride.  And while she’s not as pretty as My Beautiful Bride, I still thinks she looks pretty good.  We’re always happy to see her in bloom.

Looking Glass Rock

Looking Glass Rock is a prominent landmark in the Pisgah Forest of North Carolina.  The rock — really a mountain — rises to an elevation of nearly 4,000 feet above the valley.  The granite surfaces of the mountain reflect the sunlight, which gave the mountain its name.

I got this picture of Looking Glass Rock from an overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
