Photos from our trip to the NC mountains

Happy Friday, everybody! As promised, here are some photos from our trip last weekend to the North Carolina mountains. I went to college at Appalachian State University (WOOOOT!), so I just love it up there. I didn't open my laptop the ENTIRE WEEKEND. That was a first. I read & rested (and shopped & ate) and slept a lot. I cannot tell ya'll how much I needed this break. I am now a happy & relaxed writer person. Our good friends Amy (boxing coach and co-owner of NBS Gym in Raleigh) and Wes (boxing & fencing coach and the other owner) came with us. They needed to get away from it all, too.

(You can click on the photos to make them bigger for bettter viewing.)


Me and Derek (he's the hot, arm candy on the right) watching the bunny rabbit who pretty much followed Amy around all weekend posing for pictures.

A doe in a meadow about 50 yards from the cabin.



Grandfather Mountain.



Flowers and butterflies on the edge of the cabin woods.



Amy's photogenic bunny had a bout of shyness.




The bunny posing in the moss.



Cute little bird.

While Derek was sitting on the front porch, he saw a bobcat cross the road in front of the cabin. Naturally, Amy (who had been sitting there with her camera ready for eons) had just gone inside and missed it. Oh well, maybe next time.

Don't forget that today is the last day for the "Find Talon" contest. I'll be naming the winner tomorrow.

Have yourselves a great weekend!
Lisa

I love the N.C. mountains ... I've spent time in that area in the fall, and it might be one of the most beautiful places on earth when the leaves glow orange and red.

Derek & I have toyed with the idea of moving up there one of these years.
