This shot was taken a few weeks ago from high in the North Carolina Blue Ridge Mountains, somewhere along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The colors have completely changed now, and last weekend, the Divine Miss N and I took a trek to Tennessee and took loads of pix. We're sorting through those now and will post a few soon. By the way, we found that there are now elk once again in the North Carolina mountains. They were brought in from Colorado and Canada a few years ago and, according to the park ranger we encountered, the wild breeding program has been a success. There are now North Carolina wild born elk. These things are as big as a small horse. As you can see from the pix, we were able to get up close with one of the transplanted mother elk.
no greater beauty
