I leave to go back to India tomorrow. That's tough, because spring with its delicate colors is my favorite time of year in the southern Appalachians. Right now, the landscape changes daily as the trees flower and set out new leaves.
Today's view from our kitchen table. Just a week ago, this was all brown and leaf-less. |
It's been cold. Yesterday I went to Gaudineer Knob in West Virginia. At 4300 ft (1325 m), it is much higher than our home in Virginia, and our light rain was a snowfall at this elevation. |
The dramatic view from Gaudineer Knob. |
Flowering dogwood (a tree) is the state flower of Virginia. It's in full bloom right now. |
White dogwood blossoms blend with emerging red oak and green dogwood leaves. |
I love spring!
