On Sunday, we jumped on the Blue Ridge Parkway and headed for
Peaks of Otter.
It was a brisk, partly sunny day, and we found a hiking trail and took a little hike. This photo, is of the General Store, which was at the beginning of our hike, and closed for the winter. I liked the way the roof is all mossy. For the rest of the week, I'll show you some pictures from our hike :)
A very nice place! I'm sure you'll enjoy it in spring too. Have a nice day, Tanya.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I can't wait to go back in the spring!
ReplyDeleteWhen I read the title, I was looking for the otter in the woods! ha ha
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see more of your hike.
This green roof looks great amidst all the brown tones. Lovely shot.
ReplyDeletetu as de la chance, un beau temps, une belle ballade. nous allons donc nous promener dans les bois avec toi cette semaine.
ReplyDeleteyou're lucky, a good weather, a beautiful ballad. we will we walk in the woods with you this week.
I love hiking in winter; with the bare trees, you can see more vistas. And I love that detail of moss on the roof. Looking forward to more of your hiking shots.
ReplyDeleteNice picture! I am looking forward to the rest of the hike!
ReplyDeleteLOL D, yeah, I'm not sure why it's called "Peaks of Otter"!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for stopping by :)
Sounds like you are having a ball at you new home and exploring the area.
ReplyDeleteWe've talked about going to the Peaks of Otter, but haven't made it yet. I look forward to more of your hike. This was a great beginning.
ReplyDeleteNo one knows for sure why it was named Peaks Of Otter Certainly no otters here though... Hope you enjoyed your hike.. I love that area... there are signs in the picnic area about not feeding bears... they have black bear sightings there in the warmer months of the year.
ReplyDeleteDi
I'm looking forward to this, since this is a hike I've been wanting to take. This will be a good time of year for getting views, too. (And no snakes, bears, or bugs!)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing more pictures!
ReplyDeleteHow neat that y'all can just jump in the car and find great places to hike! I bet you are loving living there.
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh some greenery...
ReplyDeleteI'll take anything that is green even moss!!!
There are lots of easy, interesting and beautiful hikes in the area. Boy this brings back lots of memories.
ReplyDeleteNice mossy rooftop. Looking forward to the rest of the hike.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't figure out at first why the roof was green. The title really caught my eye because the Governor of our state is Gov. Otter.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a scary place. Isnt the Blair Witch in your area?
ReplyDeletelol Jim, you made me google it. The Blair Witch was over in Maryland, a whole state away, phew! That movie scared the bejeezus out of me!
ReplyDeleteThats a beautiful location :-)
