Name That Flower
I don’t know any of the names of these flowers….but who cares! They’re all beautiful.
Botanical Gardens
These are just a few of the pictures I took today at the Asheville Botanical Garden, which was wild and beautiful….and at the NC Arboretum, which was very manicured but still beautiful. I’ll show more flowers in the next post. Tomorrow we finally get on the Blue Ridge Parkway! Haven’t been there in at least …
Why travel?

Wilmington, We’ll be back.

The beach!
What a perfect day for the beach. Isle of Palms, SC.
All the pretty flowers!
The KOA we stayed at in North Charleston was kind of old and worn out, and it was pretty far from all the fun stuff in Charleston proper. But these flowers made all the difference. Sometimes beauty is right in front of your face. I admired these flowers individually every morning on my way to …
