Blue Ridge Country

It is no secret I love the mountains and spend as much time as I can up there. The beach is nice, but for me there is nothing better than waking up to a cool mountain morning and experiencing the beauty the good Lord offers to us if we are willing to stop and look. I call this my time to have “breakfast with the Lord”.

That is just what happened this morning when I was able to capture this image of the horses eating in the early morning light at Cades Cove in Tenn. I was camping with a friend and we got up to be in the cove at the earliest light. We were treated to a wonderful experience we both will remember forever.

I wish each of you could have been there, but the next best thing has happened. The magazine Blue Ridge Country (http://www.blueridgecountry.com/) has used the image in their July/August issue. This is their twentieth anniversary issue and covers some of my favorite locations, including one of my very favorites Grandfather Mtn. Above is the screen to Blue Ridge Country’s home page on their website. When I first saw the image in the magazine it stopped me. They did a wonderful job with the layout. It is an additional honor to be on their home page of their website for this issue. Please take time to check out their website and pick up a copy of the magazine. It is really a great magazine to read about our wonderful mountains.

I hope one day you can join me out there on the trail and maybe we can even have breakfast with the Lord together. Until then take care and take a moment and stop and look for the beauty around us.
