"Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the wind and feel the rain. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams."

If you go hiking up in the Blue Ridge Mountains these days, you still see lots of sights like this. What a beautiful work of nature's art...pretty as a picture.

Douthat Lake

The Lake at Douthat State Park ~ January 1, 2013
It was an overcast day when Buddy and I went for our walk, but it was a quiet, beautiful one. The lake was down and just a bit of snow was left on the surrounding mountains. I think we were the only people there. We had the whole park to ourselves. It was wonderful.

Eloise is not in any of them  because she refused to come along. She wanted to stay at the house with her Aunt Mattie and make table decorations for Thanksgiving dinner.

I love the Boulevard bit. The street is just a narrow little roadway that runs parallel to the water. It doesn't go very far before you hit a dead end...not my idea of a boulevard.

All I can say is I seem to be the designated family historian and photographer. I keep thinking one of my children will assume the role, but I am still at it. I guess it's what grandmothers do. To be honest, I really do enjoy it.
