On the Blue Ridge Parkway

so Dave and I have blessedly been working all week this last week since we got home. It's been busy, but a good busy. We love our job at the zip line (get to meet lots of fun people and go zipping every day!). But it's been kinda hectic as well. I seriously thought it was Monday on Thursday. Then Sunday hit and I thought it was Tuesday--jeez! When you work on weekends you totally forget what day it is! Well, Tuesday we got off at and decided to hit up Subway, grab the dogs, and then drive up the parkway from Cherokee. The colors up here right now are absolutely breathtaking, especially up on the parkway. We got up there about 6:30-ish and it was already getting a little dark, but we snapped a few pictures and ate dinner. Then we found a short hike and let the dogs run up the mountain to get some energy out. Good thing Dave brought his headlamp, cause we ended up walking out in the dark, but we did get to see the sunset from the top! Here are a few shots he got:
--I love the long distance view on this one

I don't think the comp. screen does this justice--that tree was flaming red!!!


See the fog rolling over the mountain as the sun goes down? So cool


Dave set the camera on a rock at the top and took this pic. on timer. I love that last pink streak before it all goes black

Waterfalls in the area

All of these waterfalls are out of Franklin--towards Highlands

you can drive your car under this waterfall



The color is all messed up--but you couldn't see the faces of anyone so I had to adjust it
