OP obywan59 The Jedi Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 1,794 Copper Hill, Virginia	Last June, when I was having computer problems and couldn't post, I drove my mom down to Roan Gardens to see the rhododendrons in bloom. The Gardens are on the summit of Roan Mountain, elevation 6285 feet, straddling the North Carolina-Tennessee state line. I took a lot of great pictures that day, and I've looked through them dozens of times, but I never really noticed this one till today. It was one of the first pictures I took and I remember when I shot it I was disappointed that the butterfly had moved before I snapped the picture, but now I'm thinking WOW! Terry May the force be with you

We were COVERED with Mountain Laurel and Rhododendron every spring. Kingdoms RAGE and go to war...but the PEasants plant potatoes.. EARTH FIRST! (we'll strip-mine the OTHER planets later.)
