Fall Colors Along the Blue Ridge Parkway – 10-10-2011

With the Fall colors being in almost full peak,  my girlfriend Linda, Daisy the dog, and I took a trip to the Blue Ridge Parkway to enjoy them. We started just South of Grandfather Mountain and traveled all the way to Boone, NC. It was crowded but the views and colors were spectacular which made it all worth it. We stopped at the Dollar Store in Newland, NC  and just across the street from there was this quaint little park complete with its own waterfalls. After stopping there briefly we continued to the high country where the views were breathtaking. The light was intensely bright but I got a few usable photos.
