I was pleased when my wife told me that she wanted to go for a hike on the Blue Ridge Parkway for mothers day. We were privileged to enjoy the natural beauty of the wild shrubs that bloom every spring among the Southern Appalachians. This is a must see annual event that should be on everyone's bucket list.

It is a great time to enjoy the beauty of the Blue Ridge. I went for a walk in our woods (just before the rain started) and got some great shots of mountain laurel and rhododendron as well as some spectacular woodland wildflowers.
