    Please forgive me . . . last evening my inveterate, juvenile spirit got the better of me. High up in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, at a pull-off along the Foothills Parkway, I ‘mooned’ my spouse . . . well kinda’ 😊 . . . we had driven up there to watch the Blue…

    Just north of Roanoke today. I decided an impromptu detour would be a fun 4th of July activity. Exiting the Interstate traffic’s high-speed hum, we launched out on an unplanned road trip exploring the west-central mountains of Virginia.

    Climbed up on the mountain this afternoon, hoping to catch sight of Bubba or Beefus . . . No luck. Evidently, they have other ‘priorities’ this time of year that take precedence to entertaining old duffers like me 😊 However, I was treated to some spectacular Nature eye candy. Here’s a couple pics of vivid…
