Stone Mountain-In The Sun



Hey!  How in the world are y'all doing? Sorry I have not been able to visit your blogs for a while...I have not been able to get to the internet lately.  Will be able to get back into the swing of things in a couple of weeks, hopefully!
In the meantime, thought you might like to see a few photos of Stone Mountain on a clear, sunny day...these were taken just one week after the rainy photos!






We always keep an eye out for wildflowers. These were very close to the very top of Stone Mountain and as far as we could tell, we were the only ones who paid them any attention. (Mind you, I am not harming them, I just held them with my extremely pale arm to show you the size of the blossoms!)



Remember my last post in the rain?  Richard took a photo of the mountain as we were coming down in the cable car.  Do you see the trailing white mark? That is not water but I suppose the stain from the rain, if you will.  We have read that the minerals that wash off the mountain are very good for all the trees and plant life around Stone Mountain and it must be so...they are beautifully healthy.


Hope that all of YOU are beautifully healthy also!  Hope I will be able to visit all your blogs very soon.  In the meantime, take care and keep looking for beauty! AND listen to music!

    That is one big pebble you have there. A superb landscape.

      You should come to Atlanta and see our monadnocks! We love them.

      And that is why you cannot go beyond the fence on the mountain, you can see why!

    Look at all those people; how crowded it is up there.

      Oh Dennis, guess what, you should see how many are on top when they have the Easter Sunrise service!
      And no matter how many people are there, we always manage to find quiet spots.

    Plenty of beauty around to look at here right now - it's one of the best times of the year for gardens, with great colours in the autumn flowers such as dahlia and chrysanthemum, and the leaves on the trees not all dropped off yet.
    Stone Mountain is always wonderful, no matter the weather! The wild flowers you found are stunning, they look almost tropical to me.

      I love autumn too with the late blooming flowers and the changing colors of the trees!
      We will have to research the flowers, they look very much like one that we know but we have never seen it that big before!

    The contrasting pictures is a good thought. It is good to see the differences.

      It made us laugh to think of the difference between one week to the next!
      We liked both days, rain and sun!

    Chris Isaak is here in Aus at present as one of the judges on the current X-Factor. I like Isaak...and I 've always liked his happy attitude towards life.

    I hate to slip off the edge of that mountain. Actually, I'd hate to slip of the edge of any mountain...even the one I live on! :)

      Lee, you have given me another reason to love Australia! You appreciate Chris Isaak!!! I love him, very talented but also a nice guy!
      There have been deaths from this mountain,
      people who will go beyond where they clearly tell you not to go!

      It really is, Kristi! And while it is wildly popular, we are not sure that everyone appreciates the natural beauty of it. We even love the rock itself, the sun upon it at different times of days and seasons.
