Fall Foliage Flashback

In the above and below photos, I captured in 2014 while on a daycation along the Blue Ridge Parkway.  The first photo is of Price Lake from a different angle than usual and in the below picture we were at the Heintooga campground just off the parkway near Cherokee.  I love how the clouds are setting between the mountains in the valley.  I remember the morning I snapped this picture it was particularly chilly. 

I don’t know what the mountains will look like as we go into our staycation.  The foliage forecasts says that the peak in our area is at the end of the month through early November.  In the past I’ve seen some pretty colors in November but I’m a bit skeptical that forecasters got it correct this year.  We’ll see but it doesn’t really matter.  I know we’ll have a nice time enjoying God’s country even if all the trees are naked. 

The original photo was taken late summer. I used Pixelmator edit my image with a fall vibe and then I used Brushstrokes to give it that painting-like effect

You’re invited to join Wild Wednesdays, the linky party where just about anything goes to self-promote your blog or favorite post.  No rules apply, other than keeping it family oriented.  Everyone is welcome to join! 

The flowers and pumpkin aren’t a flashback but present day. I added these for a fall welcome at our doorstep. Not exactly but close enough. They are actually sitting beside the steps leading up to the porch.

I’m semi-off radar in Blogosphere this week but for those who enjoy participating with others in the Wordless Wednesday community, please visit my bloggy pals SandeeNatasha,  Marie, & Wordless Wednesday!   Tomorrow, my TAD post is scheduled for those interested.  I’m in the midst of preparing for our staycation and I’m limiting my involvement in Blogosphere.  I shall leave you with today’s WSC song picks.  Have a wild and wonderful day!
