The sun was barely up over our Eastern mountain ridge as we headed out for our daily 'forced march' (otherwise known as a walk). Here, where no road is flat or straight.....it's not your normal stroll!
The overnight moisture has left trees and bushes glistening....harder to see when it's not fully light yet....but stunning none the less.
By the time we got back home.....blue sky was visible....and a bank of light fog started drifting up from the valley below...like a sheer curtain closing.
This movement of fog happens from time to time and is fascintating to watch.
We weren't the only ones out taking pictures....my neighbor snapped this shot of our house and the mountain ridge to the North and West. No wonder folks choose to live here.....the fog will burn off quickly. Our expected high temperature will be in the mid 50's today. Bliss.......

Gorgeous photos! The ice in the trees just sparkles. I see an art quilt in your future from these beautiful shots! :)
Bliss, indeed! Living in the NC mountains is heaven on earth.
It is lovely! Always love the trees glistening with that slight ice coating. Your home is lovely, too.
Just a beautiful view...winter cold or not...
Really beautiful. You have chosen a spectacular area for your retirement!
Funny Kathy should mention what a great place we selected for our retirement.....because.....we actually built our retirement dream home on property we owned for 20+ years in a little town in Wisconsin that we originally used as a weekend place. We razed the A frame on the property and built our house along the river. Though we loved the house and the memories of our time on that land, after 6 years we decided it was time to find a more temperate climate....and low and behold....we ended up in Western North Carolina!
Sigh, what a beautiful, mystical morning. A lovely place indeed for your retirement.
You all are welcome any time...doesn't matter the season....it's always lovely here!
