Beth of Wandering Dawgs is our guest host this week and her prompt is A Change in Scenery. It’s a timely prompt since the majority of us are now emerging from some sort of a Covid lockdown.
Other than visiting family, we haven’t been anywhere since lockdown started so I pulled these photos out from October 2019. These were a change of scenery for us since I usually post beach pictures.
We decided to drive up to the North Carolina mountains to see the leaves change color and we timed it exactly right. It was absolutely beautiful. We got on the Blue Ridge Parkway and just drove with no timeline or plans. Each turn and curve in the road brought more color and ooh’s and aaw’s – just like the July 4th fireworks!

A drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway in the fall is always a treat. You captured the colors beautifully. Thanks for taking part in the challenge.

I recognized it immediately Gina, and your images are stunning. The biggest challenge on the parkway is being able to stop for a photo! Beautiful choice for the week.

Thanks Tina! It was gorgeous. I’m getting pretty good taking photos in a moving vehicle! Seriously, there wasn’t much traffic so we were able to drive slowly to get the shot.

Gina, I see what you mean by oos and aha’s ! Wow, the colors are brilliant. We miss that in CA and even AZ. Brown is the color du jour.

Marsha, Thanks! Glad you like it. You have a mountain view though. I could wake up to that each morning.

I definitely had a mountain view in California. In Prescott I have pine trees, tons of pine trees. We are in the mountains. the rocks here are so unique and within minutes (like 5 or 6 minutes) you are through town and into a National Forest. there are four of five man-made lakes within four miles in any direction. We don’t wake up to it, but it’s lovely.
