The Peaks of Otter from the Parkway. |

Purgatory Mountain near Buchanan. |
If you need any concrete that we live about as close to heaven as a human without credentials can get, take a ride along the Blue Ridge Parkway today or tomorrow.
The views yesterday--a clear, lovely spring day--were simply breathtaking. The air was clean and cool (in the morning) and the views went on and on. At one point, I thought I saw New Jersey.
The hike up Sharp Top at the Peaks of Otter, one I had never completed, was brisk, steep, rock-strewn, difficult and magnificant. The 360-degree view is nothing less than breath-taking, standing there in your sweat.

This is why we call these mountains the Blue Ridge. |

Rhododendron in bloom. |

Flowers everywhere. |

Leah told me what this was, but I forgot. Beautiful, though, no? |

Lovers soak in the view from Sharp Top, to Peaks Lodge. |
