Birthday Appreciations

I turned 58 years old on May 24th. Really, I have a hard time seeing myself that age - I feel the same way as I have years ago. I guess that's either youthful thinking or immaturity but whatever it is, I am grateful for another birthday and the nice views in North Carolina I was able to experience on this short trip, some of those views I have captured, below. I hope you enjoy them. I was in the area of Lake Nantahala, and the towns of Franklin and Highlands, in North Carolina. And yes, the armadillo has been seen in North Carolina, as my husband and I discussed while driving.
