Rhododendron A-Bloom...

"You do not photograph with your brain, but rather with your heart." ~ Ernst Haas


We traveled through the sunshine and fresh mountain air. We had a drizzle of rain in Burnsville, enough to cool us down.

On the parkway, Mt. Mitchell (at 6,684 feet, the highest peak east of the Mississippi) and Craggy Gardens were covered with pink, white, and purple rhododendron. A spectacular firework display of flowers!

Mt. Mitchell was named after University of North Carolina science professor Elisha Mitchell who climbed the rugged Black Mountain range.
