We sat by the river for a good hour, and I painted a postcard and watched the muddy river go by, while my nervous system slowly regulated. It took longer than I'd like, to settle in, but the fact that it happened at all was cause for celebration. Slow improvements! I still have lots of hope.

#Black&White photos of the #MtPisgah area along the #BRP in #WNC. Or along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Western North Carolina, for those of you not interested in hashtags.

It barely looks like spring at this elevation, close to 5000ft.

This oak has a bit of #moss (on the north side just like the old wisdom, though it turns out that isn’t strictly true). #mosstodon #mtpisgah
