A walk along the French Broad River....Picture Perfect
I titled this Steam Rise.
The warm water pours over the small power dam upstream from Marshall. This is my view from above the B&B where I board.
The day was clear and cool.
This isolated farm house looked inviting.
The moutains in the distance.
The new bridge over the river.
The trusses of the old bridge in B&W.
Redmon Dam from downstream.
A view of Redmon Dam from the RR tracks.
The inside of the old RR underpass.
These rocks and sand islands were large and looked like a nice place for a summer time sun tanning picnic spot.
I do wish the fishermen could have taken their trash with them.
Kudzu covered hillside. Nearly all those trees are dead.
A root cellar?? The ceiling was caved in.
Looked like these folks lived off the grid.
If you are going to live in a trailer, I guess the colors are up to you.
I found this riverside outhouse a hoot.
I was one tired out puppy. eight mile walks exhaust me. I am ready for bed. My eyes are closed.
Hope you liked my walk.

But your post made me feel what you were feeling and that makes me feel refreshed. The B&W one was really cool.
But I did not have any thrown my way yesterday.
These mountains have steep sides. My calves told me so today.
The best is the photo of you, I blew you a kiss. Thank you for sharing your view.
And I think I felt that kiss.
You too Susie.
How sad that the fisherman have to destroy such a beautiful spot:(
Beautiful photos...... thanks for taking me along on your walk:)
I urge you to at least visit. My pictures do it no justice.
IO could shoot for a thousand years here....
Congrats on the cover!
And I got a screen shot so I can remember this one.
The sun shines today but I am tuckered out here.
It is a pretty place and I am happy to post these pictures of it.
Aim darlin'. I need a long soak a few miles away at Hot Springs. You can get a huge jacuzzi for $12 an hour. I am planning a later trip to do that.
Nice walk!
Question: How do you get your pix to load up so nice and big? Mine always load up somewhat too small. Thanks / R
You are a brave on and you look great!!
beautiful and congrats on the EP.
Missed this this morning.
Rated with hugs
And my legs got scratched with briers. But it was almost warm enough to say shorts today.
Happy to show my corner of this world to all out there.
Fabulous my girl!!!
But glad to see ya here. hope things are better your way.
I thought the trailer looked a wee tad white trashy to me.....especially with the trash pile located in the lower right corner.....
Chuck glad to see ya around these parts.
If I were to do that here now, all the pics would be in black and white~~
white because of all the damn snow
and
because my mood is black from the never ending winter.
The other three days of the year when it isn't winter here in beercheeseville, I like to walk the snowmobile trail which wind through the woods.
Thank you for the respite.
yes. It is rolling here. I commented by email that it is straight up both ways and I ain't got enough goat in my legs yet....laughing....
Yesterday was somewhat warm and sunny here in these hills.
Today?? cloudy with north wind and rain coming soon.
Spring will come your way soon. And you put up pictures of your neck of the woods dear!!
And yours are just as pretty too.
This one was not smelly yet. But used and summer coming it will.....

But that trailer? Used to be on South Beach--fit right in there.
Beauty!
Well done!

When the gendarme, became wise to my game, I moved to the Seine, directly across from the Louvre, and slept like a baby, there for another couple of day's.
Taught a little ESL, and returned to Casablanca, and came to really understand the French.
Freedom fries, my butt - they're way outpaces ours by a bazillion kilometers.
Thanks for the memories.
