“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”
―
Yesterday when we saw the prediction for two days of rain we decided to rearrange our day and take a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The rain and wind coerce the leaves to fall to the ground creating a caramel-colored brown carpet woven of the remnants of summer. We wanted to see the splendor while the trees still had the color in their hair.
The black bear cubs were out again where we had seen them a few weeks before. I captured a couple of photos and a short video. At the end of the video when the bear retreats into the woods, you can hear him growl if you listen closely.
I tried to capture a little of the winding road as we weaved in and out of the trees. The light plays tricks as it changes from sunlit spaces to dark protected shadows.
Hubby snapped a photo of me in front of this vibrant red tree. I am not sure what was with that stance — ha!
And these photos that follow? They need no explanation.Just enjoy them. I certainly did enjoy taking them.

It will be gone before we know it. Retirement lets me stop and smell the roses…

I had to turn up the volume a lot on the PC, but I heard the growl!
The colours are lovely over there, Maggie. Still only green or yellow here.
The stance is fine. It’s a solid one. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

Those were a little close — close enough to hear the growls. And to think they were babies!
