Nice photos, thanks for sharing with us, motordavid.

It's still been kinda chilly in the early mornings now for the first full week of May.
That's a nice touch of May dusting of snow in the high elevations of Haywood County.

^ Thank you!

Today's 'view': the usual after the soaking rain as we had last night. Low hanging cloud bank, here at ~ 4,800 ft elevation.

We got back to our Mt place midday today. Sunny and beautiful.

Love the picture David.

I always tell people a foggy day in the mts. is just about as much fun as being in the lowlands.

^ Good to read you are back at elevation!
And, + 1 on Mtns vs our 5 months of winter at ~ 30 ft above sea level...

Sun broke out here this afternoon and helped rocket the temps to 62 degs for a few mins.

Enjoying the temps as SummerIsComing, even at our mutual elevations.
GL to you G, and welcome back, from 'below'!

Nice pics of the view from above Waynesville MD! I'll be in Brevard in 3 wks.. The "feels like" temps here in Venice FL/Nokomis are 100-113 every day now. We have not had a break from the heat in weeks.

I'll visit Waynesvile for a day, & Hendersonville, and doing the obligatory Biltmore mansion, but not Asheville proper. Highlands/Cashiers is too expensive (I'm frugal), so I doubt I'll bother going there.

Any other towns I should see? Black Mountain sounds nice. I don't want to go much futher North or East though because I've already got a 10 hr drive to Brevard...up I-85 to 178 or 11....which is best?

Keep posting the cool pics.

Above average sunrise the other morning...fire in the sky.
From our Mtn home deck @ 4,800 ft, above Waynesville.

I was lazy that early at dawn: quick cell phone pic, & I mistakenly discarded the orig and this is a very small thumbnail, jpeg size-wise.
GL, mD



And, the cell image below was literally a minute earlier than above: sunrises change by the min. A few mins after the upper pic, Senora Solar was 'up' and colors were blown out/gone.

A fine sunrise from this past weekend, when our Son was in from NJ for our club Mem-Guest ball chasing...

With a couple days of more Soakers for Thurs/Friday, our view will not be like this for a couple.
'We need more rain', said no one in our area.


Thanks for looking!

@motordavid if you're at 4800 ft, how are your winters? Would you mind sharing a little about your typical winter weather and compared to half way down the mountain and compared to down in town?
