Jonathan Jackson2021-02-13T15:11:46+00:00Rhododendrons blooming on Little Pisgah. Taken in May, 2013. It's a good reminder of a great day, as a photo, probably not one of my best.
Blackberry Flowers on Little Pisgah
Jonathan Jackson2021-02-13T15:13:11+00:00This photo has a dream like quality because of the selective focus on the blackberry flowers and on the mountains. This is a compilation between 2 photos because the wind was blowing hard enough to make the foreground blurry. Playing on Little Pisgah in 2013.
