Autumn Color at Lake Junaluska

This is just a preview before the fall color peaks in a week or two.

Goldenrod in Bloom

Goldenrods are mistakely blamed for pollen allergies. Goldenrod pollen is not the cause of fall allergies, though. Ragweed, whichs blooms at the same time as Goldenrod, is the culprit.

Goldenrod is unique among the flowers. It gives our bees their last chance at a good winter feed. It is not only rich in nectar, but has a very high quality, protein-rich pollen.

A Blue Bridge

The Socastee swing bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway was built in 1935 and refurbished in 2003.

Having waited in a car many times for this bridge to open and close, I have wanted to see the bridge in operation from a different perspective. Yesterday, I finally got to see it up close and made this video.
