Rainbows and Rhododendron - Asheville North Carolina Blue Ridge Parkway Scenic Landscape
I was lucky enough to witness a double rainbow in some passing thunder storms last June while out shooting the Craggy Gardens area of the Blue Ridge Parkway. June in the mountains is always such an awesome time with the daily thunderstorms and rapidly changing conditions combined with all the wild flower blooms of rhododendron and mountain laurel. Hope you enjoy the view!

Lady of the Valley - Asheville NC Blue Ridge Parkway Spring Flowers North Carolina
Pink mountain laurel flowers blooming along the Blue Ridge Parkway near Asheville, NC in June. I shot this image during my "Spring in the Highlands" workshop in 2015 and it's been hiding on my hard drive since then. We had pretty heavy cloud cover that morning, but did get to see some great crepuscular light rays bursting out from under the clouds at times. Hope you enjoy the view! ;-)

Another tulip picture to celebrate all of the beauty that the Spring season brings. I liked the strong contrasts and bokeh in this image...

Wish You Were Here - North Carolina Great Smoky Mountains Sunset Landscape Cherokee NC
Sunset over the spring bloom in the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Great Smoky Mountains from the Blue Ridge Parkway in western North Carolina. Got out to do some scouting along the Blue Ridge Parkway last week and saw some good rhododendron blooms at lower elevations as well as some sweet light at the end of the day. Hope you enjoy the view!

Under the Big Sky - North Carolina Spring Flowers Mountain Landscape Blue Ridge Parkway Asheville NC
As I'm gearing up to hit the road for this year's workshop and shooting schedule, I've been looking back through some of last year's images I never got around to developing or uploading. Here's one I shot during last year's Spring in the Highlands workshops along the Blue Ridge Parkway just north of Asheville, NC, on a beautiful summer day. The month of June is my favorite time to be in the mountains, surrounded by beautiful spring flowers in bloom, dramatic skies, and the altitude of the mountain ridges always provides a nice break from the heat in the valleys below. Hope you enjoy the view!
