☁️ Soon the clouds were roiling. I've never seen a similar pattern so widespread. It was abstract art, mesmerizing.

☁️ The view of The Breaks from our spot got even more interesting when a front came through one day.
🥾 We were lucky to get back in time from hiking before the rains came, because I delayed rechecking the forecast until it was obvious we were at risk of getting wet.

🥾 Despite being on fairly steep slopes, the forests of this area are dense. In the moist wind-protected coves, ferns are happy.

⛰️ Hiking trails in this park are on several horizontal levels. The middle levels give you rock walls on one side and vistas on the other.
🥾 And, because of a large amount of geological thrust faults, sometimes you have to maneuver through unexpected formations.

🥾 We hiked past a water impoundment that is usually disruptive to a mountaintop environment, but this one was full of salamanders!
🦎 These amphibians prefer cold, clean, running water as in pristine streams. This pond had to be relatively undisturbed.
📷 I stayed still and got a pic of a Spotted Salamander as it floated into a sunny spot. Love the orange spots!

🟣 On a hike with walls of rock on one side, we came upon a spot where water dripped down, creating a seepage slope. This type of microhabitat is often a place to find treasure and this time we were not disappointed:
A little patch of wild irises.

Today we enjoyed a small piece of what our planet has to offer to make us happy.
Happy #EarthDay ! 💚

I am, in fact, still here.
The intensity of travel days over the last few weeks has consumed my time, but I should have time to post mornings this week.
🚗 I've traveled northward along the Blue Ridge, past moonshining hotspots, to arrive at Breaks Interstate Park, Virginia.
⛰️ My lodge room looks out over a gorge where a loop of river has carved out elongated bluffs called "The Towers".
📷 I was able to capture sunset highlighting them last night. There are more views from other overlooks that I'll share.
