Favorite, October, Blue Ridge photos

We had a wonderful time with daughter this weekend.  She got a ride back to Asheville late this afternoon.  I've been working since dinner, until I can't focus anymore, and I'm almost all out of words. 

Here are some of my favorite photos from our October trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains:

The Bass Lake at the Cone Manor is one of our favorite places to watch the sunset.  We usually go there the first day of vacation, and the last day, and often in-between.  Younger son is on a little "beach" below the level of the ground.  He's in mid-jump.

 Sunset Tees and Hattery has a wonderful selection of apples in the fall.  We get a bag and load up on different varieties, and often have some left over to bring home.

 Dear husband and younger son sketching at Rough Ridge on Grandfather Mountain.  Dear husband's sketch is on his blog (the first sketch on the post).

While they were sketching, I was playing with camera settings.  This photo is closer to what I wanted.

 I'll probably post more another evening.
