The mountains, fields and roadways are beautiful and I couldn't resit taking pictures The flowers are in many shades of pink and some white..They are a hardy plant down there and spring up in the woods and along the roads. Of course those are the wild variety. My sister has many pink ones from the nursery planted by her home.

My husband and I took many trips through here in the car and on our motorcycle.
After the passing of my husband ...my son made a trip to the Blue Ridge on his motorcycle to spread a few of his Dad's ashes along the parkway--

Hi Elaine,
ReplyDeleteThose flowers really are gorgeous! It must be quite a sight! I'm glad you gave us a peek at them. Happy Pink Saturday and enjoy your weekend.
Blessings,

There is a large Rhodo garden open to the public not far from me here in the Dandenong Ranges, Melbourne. They are stunning! when all is in flower. A joy!
ReplyDeleteThankyou for dropping by :)
It is a great site for Vintage clothing of the spactacuar variety! Great eye candy for a quiet evening at home I think.
Best wishes from a bright Autumn day here in OZ!

Elaine, This is really beautiful! I think it is really neat that your husband's ashes were spread in a place that had special meaning to the two of you.

Just beautiful, Elaine! I don't think they grow here in Central Texas so I was so happy to see them. Have a blessed weekend, dear friend! Vicki
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful area to spread some of your husband's ashes. The flowers are gorgeous. I want my ashes thrown off a mountain top with a beautiful view of the city and lake below. I have already shown my children the exact spot. Happy Pink.

ReplyDeleteHi Elaine, just found your blog! Happy Pink Saturday..I love Rhododendrons we live in the desert southwest and they won't make it here, but when we were in WA state we had them and they are beautiful. I cannot think of a more beautiful and meaningful place for your sweet husbands ashes than along a beautiful road..have a great day!
