  11. Beautiful photo! That blue sky is perfect background for the tree silhouette in fall. I wonder what that tree would like like in other seasons? I think it would make a perfect framed picture to have 4 in the different seasons.

    Thanks for stopping by and leaving a few words of encouragement.

    Thanks,

  16. The vista views there are enough to make one laugh and sing and yes, even cry.

  17. Great shot. Although Skyline Drive is one of my favorite spots, I have never been far enough south that it turns into The Blue Ridge Parkway. That area is truly a national treasure.

  18. I enjoyed looking through your images of VA. They bring back many good memories of my working there while we filmed the TV series "Legacy" near Richmond. We had many shoot days in Blacksburg. I spend many of my days off travelling the Blue Ridge Parkway. Thanks for sharing. I've added your blog to my feed reader.Birdwalking Photo Blog

  28. I also meant to ask if this overlook was the one on the parkway just a little south of Tuggles Gap. Folks call it The Saddle, but that's not what the Parkway folks call it - the name of which I can't recall. Anyway, if it is this, then I know this tree and if you looked out and to the left a little, you could've seen our house.

  29. I like the way you framed this shot Kerri. Nice job.

  30. bare trees are so fractal, so I love them. I've been looking for ONE, which is impossible here. They are always with thousands of others. but there must be ONE tree somewhere around.

  31. The lines of that tree are beautiful! I think it's a very neat shot - a singular bare tree in the foreground with thousands of still colorful trees in the background. Nice work!
