There is something enchanting about the ethereal mists in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. I am still breathless for a moment when the world is quiet and serene.

I never tire of the views from this little house in rural Virginia.
And even now, after so many years and so many pictures, there are still moments when I feel compelled once again to try to capture the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The Blue Ridge is sometimes shrouded in mist or covered in snow, or blue against the sky, or blanketed in fog, and always stunning.
The snow was clearing a few days ago here in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
And it was one of those days when I simply had to get one more picture.

This afternoon my camera found a young Virginia White Tailed Deer having some large leaves for dinner!
Or are they Wildlife hors doeurves?

I have never been able to take a credible photo of the moon. This little cell phone camera doesn’t have the capacity (or maybe I don’t know what I’m doing?).
But one silvery night when the fog lay in low Virginia hollows and there was a shimmer on surfaces left wet from a creeping mist, I had to try again.
Ghostly Wildlife

Shot through my window screen I see a handsome but ghostly Virginia White Tailed Deer.
Isn’t he statuesque and elegant?
And how do I seem to him looking in?
Cloud Shower

I was gazing skyward at a woven tapestry of clouds
seemingly moving in an organized palette
to a pre-planned downward fall
in a Cloud Shower.
Heaven offers an endless array of artistic views
and some need to be remembered.
The Rainbow Ridge

This has been the strangest summer in Virginia. It has been cool, then verging on hot and dry, then overcast, and lots of rain more often than not. Such weird changes have marked summertime until on this day it feels like Fall and friends are airing their expectations for Christmas on FaceBook.
Well, yesterday the Blue Ridge Mountains were shrouded in mist. Then the sun magnified our ever-green surroundings, and Ahhhhh, just look at that fat happy rainbow too!
I am now calling the view from my kitchen window The Rainbow Ridge.
