Keeping it real, keeping it cool, while remaining fairly wet in Watauga County | Eastern North Carolina Now


Along that walk as the trail opened up this dark day, I happened upon this interesting wildflower: Above. Then the Flat Top Road opened up as it headed north to the Flat Top Tower and the Moses Cone Cemetery: Below.     photos by Stan Deatherage

I thought this image was too dark, but my wife like it. She said it reminded her of an Andrew Wyeth painting. It does kind of have that "dry lostness," which is what Wyeth said he tried to achieve with much of his work, by mixing various forms of organic matter with his egg tempera: Above. Not wanting to temp the Gods of Inclement Weather by proceeding on foot to the Flat Top Mountain, so we retrace our steps back down the hill, where we once again look across the rolling pasture toward clouds drifting in the southern sky: Below.     photos by Stan Deatherage


These lovely, lush green fields offer a wonderful opportunity for the hardy cows, working the steep grade to find the sustenance to fatten their flanks, and sweeten their milk: Above and below.     photos by Stan Deatherage
