June in Hardy County

Willy Nilly Friday.

1. These views are between Baker and Moorefield, starting with a wildflower planting along Highway 48/55. 

Friday Bliss, Floral Friday.
2. The rest of the scenes are along the road that crosses a ridge between Lost River State Park and Moorefield. This curving driveway caught my eye.

Black and White Weekend.

3. Mountain laurel lights up the woods.

4. The mountain views provide a good excuse for driving this winding road. It is steep in places but it's paved. I did not recognize this road but I probably crossed the mountain on it with my parents many years ago. We stayed in a cabin in Lost River State Park more than once. It's quite possible that the road was not paved then.

5. Fences: I don't know if you can see the rocky outcroppings. I liked the curve of the fence and the flowers growing over it.

6. Skywatch: Does this driveway go to a farm or someone's vacation home?  Maybe a full-time residence? A surprising number of people like living along a mountain road, even though it takes a while to get to town and may be impossible in icy weather. The views are spectacular.

    What a beautiful place to live! I wouldn't mind living there even in tricky Winter conditions to get to town. The winding road is perfect for the black and white photo. I've not seen mountain laurel before and will look it up. All the best.

    Your b&w makes me thing of an old Beatles song, the long and winding road :-)

    I used to love black and white photography when I did my own developing. It was fun to work with the lights and darks to get it just right. - Margy
