Beauty is often hidden




 I'm attracted to the simplest things and even the tiniest something that you could very well pass on the street can be beautiful. A while back I was on a photo assignment up at the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center taking pictures of Appalachian's wind turbine.  After I had finished, I took some time to just walk around the Broyhill and saw some beautiful flowers outside Broyhill's main entrance.  From a distance, they just looked like ordinary flowers, but up close they were absolutely breathtaking.  I was very pleased with this picture and it's one of my favorite's to date. The photograph is also shown as taken. No photo editing was made.

"I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house."-Nathaniel Hawthorne

It's that time of the year again. The air is crisp, the leaves are changing, and the mountains welcome Autumn's arrival.  I was fortunate to have a day off work, so I went to the Blue Ridge Parkway and took some photos. Boone never looked so beautiful.
