Fence Friday: Take me home, country roads…

On our recent trip to Roanoke, Virginia (USA), we got off the highway and did a very nice stretch of road in West Virginia (WV State Rt. 259, I think) before we got on the Blue Ridge Parkway.  I saw lots and lots of fences along the way on that road and on the Blue Ridge Parkway.  I’ll post the ones I like best today.

 

The John Denver song “Country Roads” kept going through my mind as we traveled down through West Virginia.  He calls it “almost heaven.”  They call it “wild and wonderful.”  I just call it beautiful.   There is another place I need to get back to with my camera and time to spare.

And, of course, the Blue Ridge Parkway is just one of the most extraordinary country roads in the whole USA. 

So here they are…fences along some country roads.

Either in Virginia or West Virginia

Cruising the Blue Ridge…

One of the nice things about driving south to Roanoke, Virginia (USA), is getting off the highway and onto the Blue Ridge Parkway.  I could wax eloquent, blather on and take lots of poetic license describing this beautiful drive, but since I’m a thoughtful and charitable type of person, I will not waste your time and will let my photos speak for themselves.

It became apparent why they are called the "Blue" Ridge Mountains.

Standing tall on top of the world.

My Sunday Hunt Finds...

We were away last week.  Greg, Olive and I took a nice ride down to Roanoke, Virginia, where we wandered around and saw things.  I have tons of photos from the trip…so what else is new??  But I haven’t had time to really look at them.  I thought I should pick out a few for Scavenger Hunt Sunday but I also had to reach into my archives for a couple.  Here they are:

Strike a Pose - Here's the pose that pug Olive strikes when she's trying to tell us it's her turn to drive:

Footwear - Someone is missing a pair of sneakers:

Hobby - I crochet when I'm not taking pictures:

Afghan complete with pug hairs.

Shiny - What's shinier than a Hot Dog King's crown?
