Welcome Kittens & Dawgs! In June while in the western mountains of North Carolina we came up on the Judaculla Rock Petroglyphs. Actually, we saw signs, so we followed them. What a cool and unexpected discovery!
I thought this was something the Cherokees did, but according to what I read it predates the Cherokees and Indian legend says a slant-eyed giant named Judaculla dominated the mountains in years long past. He was the “Great Lord of the hunt,” a powerful being who could leap from one mountain to another, and even control the weather. They believed the rock not only marked his territory, but even bore his 7-fingered hand-print, since he once used the rock to steady himself from a fall.
This was great found to see first hand and to document our visit with photos. I just love stuff like this! Anyhow, a week later, we found ourselves on the Virginia end of the Blue Ridge Parkway. I had to snap a picture of these beautiful brown eyed girls!
Yeah, I know not exactly the brown eyed girls you were expecting. lol
I gathered looks by some of the ladies. I imagined them thinking… What’s she doing over there? With their quizzical expressions, if you can call it that, but I’m sure most were like, Silly human! as most just ignored me. I decided either the shutter sound caught their attention or they spend too much time on social networks and are narcissistic. You just never know anymore. Nah, I think it’s simply a case of curiosity. They look too sweet and NOT at all the self-absorbed. 😀
In case you missed the mews I’m working on my site, repairing broken links and videos while summer blog traffic is slow. What this means is I’m minimizing my content to two posts each week, especially those that are very similar such as (Not-so) Wordless Wednesday and Skywatch Friday.
You can find more photo hops listed under Daily Hops at the top of this page.
Be sure to join me with the relaunch of Friday Sillies and other Friday fun hops. Have a fototastic day!
