A Search for Gold Willy Nilly

1. The first half of November is a time of golden foliage but also golden light, often fleeting. The best time to catch it is in the last hour of the day.
At Blandy, Linking to Willy Nilly Friday.

2. We are still enjoying golden leaves.  These are along Passage Creek in Fort Valley.

3. Floral Friday: Only a few yellow flowers are left, so I combined them with golden leaves using PhotoCollage.




4. Weekend Reflections: Seven Bends State Park is almost ready to open. I went down to the new park to see what's been added. The parking lot at the Hollingsworth entrance is open and it is next to the river. A ramp for small boats is completed. There are steps alongside so you can pull your canoe up the hill.

There are also new picnic tables and trails have been marked. Volunteers are helping with this stage of construction.

5.Skywatch: We've had some lovely sunsets. This is one I viewed from Dickey Ridge in Shenandoah National Park.

  2. ...sadly all out leaves are on the ground and covered by a foot of melting snow. That ramps sure looks steep! A nice end to the day. Thanks linda for stopping by, enjoy your weekend.

  3. Good design of the ramp. No more muddy shoes (or toes) pulling a canoe out. I do love that golden light while it lasts!

  5. The idea of a new state park opening is exciting. We have some great state parks in Oklahoma but they are way underfunded so there is a continuing series of closing, partnering, and selling to wealthy developers to make vacation subdivisions for other wealthy people.
