Retirement!

After much thought, I have decided to retire this blog.  I appreciate the followers, the faithful who view and make comments, and those who simply view without comment.  However, it has become increasingly difficult to do justice to 2 blogs, and I am finding it a chore, rather than a joy.  I would rather do one thing well, than several things poorly.  And I feel there have been times when I have posted something mediocre, just to have something to say.  That wasn't the reason I started blogging, and is not how I want to be known.

So, having said that, I leave you with a final photo and quote...

Thanks for everything!  (I can still be found over at my other blog, The Road Awaits and on Wordless Wednesday Again.)

Ruby Tuesday

Brightening a little corner of the world in Pigeon Forge, TN...these lovely geraniums.

SOOC Sunday

This is the rose that replaced the rose with the deadly thorns!

Ginger - love the smell!

That's what is in bloom in my garden this week!

Mountain Skies

Early morning (7am), Cataloochee Park, North Carolina

A short while later (7:16am), same park.

There is something so majestic and awe-inspiring about the early morning hours in the mountains.

Ruby Tuesday

There is something so inviting about a red door!  This church is in Gatlinburg, on the street that leads to my favorite mountain drive, Roaring Fork Motor Trail.
