Highlights of the Blue Ridge Parkway
It was time for a break from all the Disney photos so back to last fall and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Two of the most iconic places on the parkway are the Lynn Cove Viaduct in North Carolina and Mabry Mill in Virginia. These are big favorites for photographers and […]

A quick post tonight. Two shots from Price Lake along the Blue Ridge Parkway. I shot this on my way back to our cabin near Boone from the Linn Cove Viaduct. There were some nice colors and a nice little mist hanging over the lake. [facebook]
