I was really surprised how well this picture did. I was wishing there were prettier fall colors. The late afternoon light may have helped.

It also made top picture of the past 30 days as well as the top 12 all time Ultimate Photo Battle pictures according to percentage of wins.

Here's a larger picture.

Mabry Mill

It's located at milepost 176 on the Blue Ridge Parkway. (I live at milepost 140)
I was there for supper at the Mabry Mill Restaurant where I tried their famous barbecue, layered between 2 cornmeal pancakes. I enjoyed the meal, but it gave me heartburn.:)

May the force be with you

We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart?
The other heart was given to another for us to find.

Thanks everybody!

Hey Thorny! I just got back from a trip to Delaware and checked the newest photo battle. At the moment, you and I are tied for 5th place percentage-wise. Cardinal versus Chicadee!

There's still a long way to go, however.


Terry

May the force be with you
