I didn't have a lot to blog about last year.  My time was spent recovering from some health issues and purchasing and moving into a house from an apartment.  I got to make two trips  - one to Asheville, NC and another to Lexington, Kentucky.  I spent my birthday weekend with two other friends who are also photographers and also have birthdays close to mine.  We didn't have but two days to shoot in and around Asheville, so we spent the first day at different locations along the Blue Ridge Parkway.  Linville Falls was our first stop early in the morning.   Above the falls, we found beautiful rock formations and water thundering down to a large falls.  Near the Visitor's Center, in a hidden cove, was Duggers Creek Falls - not a lot of water, but beautiful reflecting pools and lush greenery. The next stop was Craggy Gardens, a beautiful mountain top area with tons of rhododendrons.
