I didn't know such a place existed in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Diane. It looks like a great vacation spot with ample photo ops.
Love all the colors.

Shalom Y'all. (That's redneck Hebrew.) LOL. That sure looks like a beautiful place, and your picture should be in one of the Better Houses and Gardens magazines. This takes a little bit of the edge off the snow and cold around here.

Lots of great color and I like your peek-a-boo framing of the chalet with the diagonal rows of flowers. It is very pretty there. Must be a lot of German ancestry in that place.

Fabulous colors and composition, Diane! I like the view of the buildings between the arborvitae trees and the colorful flowers in the foreground. That vibrant blue sky puts the finishing touch on a very warm and inviting scene. Well done!
