Late Srping

640 x 424,   69.8 kThis spring we decided to resurface the driveway. In the process we had several electrical conduits placed under the pavement for future use.

640 x 424,   71.0 kHere the contractor is removing old asphalt where the drive meets the street so there wouldn't be a bump where the new surface meets the street.

640 x 424,   70.4 kAsphalt is layed, spread and packed. This area is where we park our trailer. The red spot under the rake is a concrete block to support the trailer tongue.

640 x 424,   56.3 kSpreading the final segment at the street.

640 x 424,   51.3 kThe last packing point. This was quite an exciting day.

640 x 424,   66.6 kThe new drive, with a few leaves that got drug up from the woods.

640 x 424,   61.7 kThe stream, Popes Head Run, just down from our house floods above our street several times a year. It seldom does any damage, just gets the road muddy.

640 x 424,   28.5 kOur front yard contains a few beautiful Rhododendron bushes. Each spring we are treated to deep reds, pale pinks and a few whites.

640 x 424,   36.6 kA wider view of the same plant seen above.

640 x 424,   43.7 kA cluster of the common Dandy Lion, a whole different world when seen close up.

640 x 424,   72.5 kA patch of pink Dianthus greets the spring visitor to The Country Waye Campground.

640 x 424,   29.1 kThe Dandy Lion seed cluster. Nature's reproductive system thrives. The Dandy Lion is not a native to North America. It was imported early in the 16th century from Asia for its leaves which can be used to make a salad.

640 x 424,   25.9 kSomething Lilaceous. This little wild flower has my friend stumped. He is a New England man and apparently there is not enough of the plant showing here for him to identify. It is still quite lovely.

640 x 424,   24.6 kAnother beautiful blue flower, and another that we couldn't identify for sure. Possibly a gentian of some type.

640 x 424,   27.2 kThis tiny flower we believe is a Dianthus, Cottage Pink. What beauty nature can bestow on us.

640 x 424,   56.5 kIn the campground we had a pot luck dinner with friends, Bob and Diane.

640 x 424,   48.4 kHere we see Shasha, their dog, protecting the camp.
