The rosebay rhododendrons are stunning to view whether it be up close or through a windshield on the Blue Ridge Parkway. This "Pretty in Pink" rosebay was captured in all its beauty on the shore of Sims Pond (milepost 295.9).
A Rosebay Rhododendron (Rhododendron maximum) laced with rainwater in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia. These large plants flower from mid-June to mid-July in the shady woodlands of the Appalachian mountains. Sometimes they are found in great masses on the mountain sides, referred to as Rhododendron "hells". They are native to eastern North America and reside from Alabama north to Nova Scotia.
Framed by a sea of green woods, nature is reclaiming this abandoned barn located along the Tweetsie Trail in Johnson City, Tennessee.
