Wisemans View.....One More Time.While visiting the North Carolina mountains a few weeks ago, I made a concentrated effort to catch a spectacular morning sky at Wisemans View, which overlooks the wild and rugged Linville Gorge Wilderness. My efforts were unfortunately in vain, as I had identical cloudless conditions all three mornings I went there. So I set up on a different cliff face than the one I was on a couple days earlier and caught the sun just as it was cresting the summit of Hawksbill Mountain. If you like this image then feel free to share and if you wish, give my photography page a "Like". Thanks again for taking a look!

"Rosebay Willowherb"This flower spike immediately caught my attention because it appeared to be growing from a Mountain Laurel (and Mountain Laurel doesn't have showy spikes of flowers). I like the more poetic-sounding name of the plant, Rosebay Willowherb (Epilobium augustifolium) as opposed to the prosaic, common name "Fireweed."Bringing beauty from ashes, Fireweed is often the first plant to colonize a burned over or clear-cut area. The plant is edible. Native Americans have long known the value of this plant as food and medicine. A wonderful anti-inflammatory tea can be made from the leaves or the leaves may be eaten in salads. The plant is high in Beta-carotene and Vitamin C.
