Another Day In Paradise - Blue Ridge Parkway North Carolina Mountain Landscape Asheville NC
A beautiful summer evening along the Blue Ridge Parkway north of Asheville, NC during the spring rhododendron bloom. The Southern Appalachian Mountains are a special place to be during the month of June, when thunderstorms stir up dramatic skies over the vibrant spring flowers and golden light rays paint the mountain ridges and valley below. Wherever you are right now, I hope you take a minute and enjoy the view!

The Great Outdoors - North Carolina Mountains Appalachian Trail Scenic Landscape Photography
A beautiful summer afternoon along one of my favorite sections of the Appalachian Trail during the spring rhododendron bloom in the mountains of Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee. The high altitude grassy balds in the Roan Mountain Highlands region offer expansive scenic views in every direction, and large natural gardens of catawba rhododendron and flame azalea dot with hillside with vibrant splashes of color. The perfect elements for a memorable hike surrounded by mountain scenery that is simply breathtaking. Hope you enjoy the view!

Daybreak - North Carolina Blue Ridge Parkway Landscape Photography Asheville NC
A beautiful summer morning sunrise over the spring mountain laurel flower blooms at Craggy Gardens along the Blue Ridge Parkway just north of Asheville, NC. Spring flowers come late to the higher altitudes in the Southern Appalachian Mountains, making the month of June one of my favorite times of the year to be on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Cool mornings and gorgeous scenic mountain views over blooming catawba rhododendron and mountain laurel flowers is a landscape photographer's dream, and the memories made are well worth all of the early morning wake up calls. Hope you enjoy the view!

The Last Mile - North Carolina Blue Ridge Mountains Spring Flowers Landscape
Shot this image with my Spring in the Highlands group workshop a week or so ago. After a day and a half of mostly awful conditions, lots of rain, and very heavy fog in the mountains (which produced some sweet trail shots coming soon), we found some really nice light over the big scenic views for a few hours to finish the weekend on a high note. Persistence pays off eventually, though I'm sure my group was wondering what on earth I was thinking when I turned onto the Blue Ridge Parkway into heavy fog yet again. This time turned out to be much different though, and as we drove south we started catching views of the valley below, and then glimpses of sunlight breaking through deep in the valley. We chased the pocket of light south and found quite a few nice scenes along the way, ending in a spectacular show of light rays that I'll get around to uploading as soon as I get the chance. When you're out looking for landscapes and chasing the light, persistence often pays off if you go the extra mile. Hope you enjoy the view!
