It has been a few weeks since I was last there. I am tired of watching the oil bomb that has exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. The area I called home for several years.

We had a bad thunderstorm roll thru last night...complete with some spectacular lightning. I tried my hand at grabbing a pic or two but was not to successful; the reason being: I have a healthy fear of lightning! But will keep trying. <br />

I started taking pictures to share with my mother and her husband; all the incredible scenery, I was viewing on my occasional excursions into wilderness of North Carolina. They were unable to see or enjoy the splendor of the mountains, and the "viewing" rewards that comes from a strenuous hike. A photographer was born. To be honest, I do have a background in TV production...so not a totally foreign world.<br />
So, in the course of my travels around the area... I have had the pleasure of seeing some of God's greatest creations. With all the natural beauty surrounding me; I became an avid photographer. By posting this blog -- I hope to share my pictures of North Carolina with whomever stops by. And all that is posted here, is for sale.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
